  Powering Blue Board
Posted by: lostinignorance - 2023-01-07, 20:49 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (7)

I am looking for ideas on the feasibility of possibly of powering the system blue.

POE powered:
Use a POE to USB adapter (Something like PoE Splitter with MicroUSB Plug)

Solar with super caps
Use more super caps, but concept is there (Something like 5v Solar Power Supply)

Can anyone lend some incite into how they have been powering their devices outside of the basic USB plug?

Smile How to register/2nd owner
Posted by: rutrut - 2022-12-30, 17:19 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (6)

Hello,

I just bought a used system blue.  System is online and working properly, but shows old owners info.  In reading, to create a new account for myself, I need to use my email as the username and device ID as the password when trying to login for the first time?  One problem arose when I discovered that I do not have a device ID listed on the status page.  I also tried the link on the status page (tracker.blitz......) and get a 404 error from the site.  According to the documentation, I should see a button on the top of the controller page as well to get an account.  It is not there.

Can someone point me in the direction to the process of getting this re-registered?

Thank You

  Max Cable Length
Posted by: rutrut - 2022-12-26, 15:13 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (1)

Hello,
What would be the max cable length that could be used between a ferrite antenna and the reciever? Would like to mount antenna as remote as possible to alleviate noise.
Thank You

  Any plug and play systems available?
Posted by: DeBruynB - 2022-12-06, 14:39 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (3)

I had an operational system years ago, but since I moved in 2015 I failed to get it working again. It was also needed to have it hooked up to a pc 24/7. But I want to contribute again with a system that is stand-alone (blue system can do this I think?). But I'm a literal 0 at electronics, so I'm wondering if there is any plug and play systems available or someone who assemble these things for a price? 

Thanks! Smile

Best regards from Belgium.

  Map no longer displays?
Posted by: W2PJ-WX - 2022-11-13, 18:38 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (2)

   
I used to frequent this Blitzortung Map page, but in no longer displays?  Only "Lightening Bolt" at the top of page and pull down menu work.  Problem is using Latest Version of Microsoft Edge Browser.  Not a problem using Chrome Browser.   See attachment below.

Link is below:
Blitzortung.org - Live Lightning Map

https://map.blitzortung.org/#5.77/40.758/-76.068





Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions.

  MyBo reactived???
Posted by: Hoelters - 2022-11-13, 10:34 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - No Replies

Hello, everyone,

I am not happy that MyBo is no longer being delivered.

This is an excellent program like WsWin by Werner Krenn.
To "Tobi" please reconsider whether you can reactivate MyBo?
It would be a pity about the beautiful program.

  GPS antennea seems to die, is this typical of inexpensive units?
Posted by: cernese - 2022-11-07, 21:59 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (15)

I've been running a "blue" system since the fall of 2017! 
At the end of last month, near end-October-2022, I get a startup sequence where the GPS unit responds and then dies.
First 1 satellite and a few seconds later, a 2nd satellite, and then it stops responding completely.

It was an inexpensive "active antenna 28dB Gain, 3-5VDC, SMA connector" widget and I'm going to order a replacement unit, any suggestions or should I just pick what I find in amazon.com ?

Thanks,
Dan

  Fallo de GPS en Sistema azul (Estación 1877)
Posted by: enjasa - 2022-11-04, 16:38 - Forum: Non-English - Replies (8)

Buenas tardes, tengo la estación sin funcionar el GPS. Internamente parece que su reloj no funciona bien, ya que sitúa el reloj en el año 2013 y no es capaz de recibir ningún satélite. He reiniciado varias veces la estación, revisado todas las conexiones, cambiado de antena y llego a la conclusión de que el chip del GPS no funciona.
¿Qué posibilidad hay de conseguir un nuevo chip para reinstalarlo en mi estación nuevamente?
Sería de suma importancia reinstalar de nuevo este elemento y poner en marcha la estación. Ha estado 5 años trabajando sin parar y deseo que siga funcionando y aportando datos al sistema.
Muchas gracias. Saludos.
