I realized I should have put this in the internal forums. Here's a link to that discussion-

Hi, I currently live in Mauritius and we are in the middle of a thunderstorm at the moment but the lightning is not appearing on the map. Our nearest detector would seem to be in Reunion, about 200-300km away. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Hi,
I just would like to say that I can not a ford the cost of up grade to  system blue. I understand that green will be phased out shortly. so 608 Ne Beith will be shut down soon. Thank all of you for your support over the past years.

Cheers
Jerry

Hallo alle,

vorab, ich bin kein PHP PROFI!, (MyBo läuft auf php5.6 ohne Probleme) ich habe meine Server auf php7 umgestellt um zu sehen wie sich MyBo verhält.

Installation war erfolgreich, nur das Updaten funktioniert nicht. Nun habe ich gelesen das die SQL Abrage auf msqli laute, Tobias hat das natürlich eingebaut, wenn die Classe vorhanden ist, soll sie auch verbendent werden.

Db.class.php

Warum es nicht läuft, keine Ahnung im Moment. Wer kann helfen oder eine Tipp?



Gruß Silvio

What is the cause of the "W" shape in my lightning signal? Is it real or is there a resonance in my antenna? Sometimes there are more cycles but the spacing is consistent, around 10 kHz. I don't see this curve in any articles about lightning physics, though some show oscillations but very rough.


I have seen this curve in other nearby station's data but I do not know their antenna setup. I have 4 turns on a 1-meter X-frame, no transformer, directly connected to the external H-amplifier. Turn spacing is about 2 mm.


Because of bad noise I have the low-pass filter installed, but I have seen the same curves without the filter during lucky stretches when the noise stops.


All the strikes are 2500 km or more from me, so maybe the curve is explained by different frequencies taking different paths. I will have to wait until summer to see the shape of closer strikes.

I will try to attach an image from lightningmaps.org

Hi,
I assembled the station, System Blue, firmware 8.2_Blue, but GPS reports: Availability: 100% Type: Unknown, 115200 baud rate. Did not get valid data from GPS for ... (Debug log: Buffer overrun - Didn't receive GGA/RMC sentence)
In addition I can't see Station Id and User ID. They are both "0".
What should I do?

Thank you in advance

Hi guys,
i have red, my station is 1127 and in screen i see this message: vin too low

And in my webpage i see this message: Interference Mode (Burst) in Tracker.

I have FW 8.2 PCB 10.4/12.3

In map my station appear at red color, active / no reception.

Any idea what is problem?



Thanks guys.
Kind regards,

Hi everybody,

Since a couple of days my System Blue, PCB 19.3, locks up sometimes and it is making a constant chirping/whining noise.
The noise seems to be coming from the three large coils near the power LED.

Is this normal?

update: I swapped the usb power supply. the old one was generating 4.00V, the new one, 4,96V. The sound is less noisy, but still present... I downgraded to fw 8.2, from 8.3b2 too...

Hi

When I open the link provided on station UI I get the following error

Internal Server Error :: Code 500

Are there any other ways to register the station? Is it something temporary and will be fixed soon?
