Question System Blue availability?
Posted by: NorthObserver - 2015-07-06, 10:04 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (13)

Greetings,

As the summer 2015 thunderstorm season is roaring in good progress..just wanted to ask
what is the current status of System Blue -production? I for one would have two possible locations
to cover, one with fiber, one with 4G connectivity. When we can expect the next generation boards and
with what price?

  Not able to zoom in as much as before
Posted by: calvinphelps - 2015-07-05, 19:41 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (4)

Zoomed in to 200 m
   

Only able to zoom in to 2 k
   

I used to be able to zoom in to 200 m per unit. Now I can only zoom in to 2 k per unit. This issue happens on both my laptop and iPhone so I don't think it's an issue with my devices. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Does anyone have a solution? I liked to be able to view the strikes that were basically in my front yard. Now I just see the area around me.

Thanks.

  Want to purchase a System Red
Posted by: thatflookguy - 2015-07-05, 17:00 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - No Replies

Looking for anyone who is looking to sell their kit.. There dont seem to be any local stations to me near Glos/Chelt/Ledbury/Malvern.. The closest 2 are inactive so I thoght I would host a full time station here on the farm.

Let me know if you have some gear to sell or anyone who would be willing to put a kit together.
Thanks, Lee.

  Lightning History Only up to 2 hours
Posted by: lintup - 2015-07-05, 11:59 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (6)

I can only view lightning strikes for up to 120 minutes. Will the 24 hour / date & time options be available again?

  Data source for an application?
Posted by: LenyMcCormick - 2015-07-05, 11:46 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (6)

Hi,

I would like to create a iOS application using the data from Blitzortung, but, after some search, I can't find any information about where I can find the data... I know that the two "live maps" (from LightningMaps.org & Blitzorkung.org) use a websocket service for the data, but I don't know if I can use it in my app...

Is anyone here can tell me where I can find these informations?

Thanks in advance Smile

  Statistik meiner Station
Posted by: Martin.Kerstiens - 2015-07-04, 12:18 - Forum: Non-English - No Replies

Guten Tag,

habe die Bitte, ob sich mal jmd. von den Profis meine Daten ansehen kann. Ich betreibe die Station 634 in Ochtrup

Nun habe ich gerade mal meine Statistik angeschaut und habe gesehen, dass ich folgende Daten habe:

Allgemeine Statistiken der letzten Stunde

  • Station aktiv:ja

  • Letzte Aktualisierung:vor 13,4 Minuten

  • Letzter detektierter Blitz:04.07.2015 12:09:06 UTC

  • Blitze:231 (Liste)

  • Signale:418

  • Ortungsquote:55,3%

  • Blitzquote:4,2% (Karte)

  • "Eigene" Blitze:0 (0,0%)

Was ist von den Werten zu halten? Die Quoten sind doch etwas dürftig, oder? Was kann/könnte ich daran tun, damit sie sich verbessern.
Wenn ich mir die Live Karte ansehe und die beteiligten Stationen anzeigen lasse, dann ist meine Station bei vielen Messungen nicht aktiv dabei.

Wäre toll, wenn sich das mal jemand mit Ahnung ansehen kann und mir ggfs. Tipps zur Verbesserung geben kann.

Vielen Dank und schöne Grüsse
Martin

  Lightningmaps.org history zoom
Posted by: lintup - 2015-07-04, 08:52 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (3)

The Europe view on lightningmaps.org doesn't show any strikes if zoomed in. You used to be able to do this fine. Does anyone know a fix?

  System BLUE / capability to handle external RF fields
Posted by: tkuhmone - 2015-07-02, 20:50 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (10)

Hi,

just joined to the forum :-)

I am looking for a future opportunity to setup my monitoring station behind a remote internet connection. I am interested of the system BLUE when it comes available - hopefully later this year.

Do we have any preliminary information (possibly from development team) how good this equipment is for handling nearby RF fields? I got some comments from local amateur radio operators, that the VLF area where BO hardware operates, would be not so easily disturbed...

I mean the frequencies, for example in HF band roughly 3.5 to 30MHz, that is used for the ham radio operators. I ask this because the planned location of the station, would be same as the location of my RF-transmitters. The power levels feed on antennas at HF would be estimated 50...100W max. Maybe in a future I could install some VHF/UHF transmitters also...

thanks,

  Strike accuracy question
Posted by: Quasar1011 - 2015-07-02, 14:41 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (6)

When zooming in on the maps so that the scale is 1000 feet (or 200 meters), the colored lightning strike dots will be surrounded by circles. The circles are different sizes. What does this mean? Is the position of the strike calculated more accurately, the smaller the circle?

This is my first post, and I didn't see this addressed elsewhere. Confused

  Station near an electrified railway
Posted by: Huge - 2015-07-01, 22:38 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

I know I can't apply to get the kit yet, until Blue is available, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

I've just moved house, and might be able to host a detector. The problem is, within about 15m of my house on the other side of my garden fence, is an electric railway (which operates at 1500v DC, if that makes a difference).

I'm near a station, so the trains are often pulling quite a large amount of current as the accelerate away from it, and they can usually be seen to make quite large sparks on the overhead line as they do so. Would this sort of thing, in close proximity to a detector, cause a problem?
