Hey folks

I've just fired up my old green system after a long time without the possibility to have it online. I can see that messages are received, coordinates are updated and my station is listed as online, but I don't see any signals in my user page as I did last time it were online.

I see a lot of PCB 6.X stations in running state, so my first guess were that they still work, but now I think I need confirmation that it still can submit data to the network?

If it should work, are there anything else I should try?

I am not able to source the 25 Mhz crystals from a US source that have same specs exact specs from the bit of looking I have done.

Is there anyway you can make both crystals SMD on a future revisions of the board and include them already mounted?

To day I looked at the last 24 hour historical data and found that at UTC 14:20 on May 4th thunder stopped/slowed down at exact same time all over the world. See attachment, and take a look for your self at the historical data page  

Can anybody explain this?

Our server provider seems to have again a problem with the internet connection. This is not a problem of blitzortung.org, so please do not write me an email to inform me about that.

In charge of an experiment in my company and member of Blitzortung community, I wish a real time interface with an internal software to use Blitzortung data flow.
Is it possible to create this link ?
Can you tell me  the steps  to create this link?

Thank you for you answers.

There is so much going on that please don't take this note as an important concern.

But unless someone says something, you'll not know, so put this on your list of fix its when you get bored and have nothing to do.

I did check with several other users and they have found the same concern, so it doesn't seem to be just me.

Issue #1:  When I go to lightningmaps.org, log in and then go to the real time display, the map comes up as I have left it, and the station selections are all there, but the lines setting I made is forgotten from the previous visit.

I know it used to remember all the settings, and it is easy enough to go to the upper right hand corner, select the little antenna with the vibrations eminating from it and see Stations, Lines and Coverage and then re-select the Lines radio dot that I want.  The curious thing is that the Stations and the Coverage stay selected to where they were when I last visited.

Issue #2:  I remember but can't attest without doubt that the Real Time Lightning page used to remember that I had previously signed in, and even provides a box that says Stay Logged In under the For Participants, LogIn selection on the left side.  I sort of remember that I could return to the page some time later and it recognized me as having signed in.

I'm not seeing any other trouble, and I do think that I have the cookies OK'ed in my browser, and it seems to do the same thing whether I use FireFox, Chrome, or IE.

None of these are big deals but they seem to have changed from some time ago and I've been hesitant to even mention them at all, but if there are revisions in the future, it would be nice to have them return to working as before.

Thank you.  Dale
Station 976

After years of fascinated watching real time lightning data on the Blitzortung website, I'm interested in operating a Sytem Blue lightning detection site.

I'm aware that Sytem Blue still is in development. Because I currently renovate our house, it would be much easier, if I could install the cables needed for Sytem Blue now.

Could anyone please specify which cables are needed between antenna/(pre-)amplifier and gps antenna mounted in an attic and the control unit, which should be installed in the basement?

Thx Martin

This thread gives you information on how to order a detector.

Please do not ask us by email, when the boards are available. We will announce it here in this thread.

Date: 12. August 2016
Status: Detectors are available

   

The ordering process of detectors is as follows. Everybody who leaves his email at the [url=//forum.blitzortung.org/www.blitzortung.org/cover_your_area.php][/url]Cover Your Area Page page is stored in a reservation list and gets a rank. If detectors are available, we will proceed according to this list. Nevertheless, about one third of the detectors will be reserved to particularly interesting locations.

In any case please
1.) read the old Project Description, (thoroughly!),
2.) read the new Project Description with Assembly Instruktion for System Blue (thoroughly!)

Hi All,

I've been looking all around blitzortung.org but can't manage to find how I could acquire the hardware for setting up a new station in a city near by Barcelone (spain). I spend 100% of my time developing, assembling and programming custom hardware of almost any complexity so it will be no problem at all if I have to assemble and setup all things to get it to work.

How could I acquire the kit? Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards, Victor
