Data Access

[gnuarm]

Hi,

I want to develop an APP for photographers, with several features for profissional and amateur photographers.

JUST one of these features would be get your data, and help drive photographers to lighting to take lightning pictures.

If my App is not free this is against your policy ?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo

Yes.

Lightning detection has been something I've been interested in for some time.  I've seen a number of lightning detectors including IC level products, but so far none have been very useful for real world use.  This project looks like it could fill this role usefully.

I guess I don't understand what this project is for.   I see a map which seems to show relatively real time data through a browser interface.  What I don't see are any apps or anything that would allow the data to be used in a real world setting.  I also see this post that seems to say the data can not be used by a product which participants might want to use, if that product is sold rather than given away. 

Is this entire project purely a hobby?  Is there no interest in using the data for practical, real world applications?

I see that there currently are no boards to be bought since the project is in mid switch over to the new Blue boards.  How expensive are the blue units?  It is also not clear to me if the kit comes with all the parts or if the user has to buy their own parts to assemble with the board.  It looks like a case is provided.  Is there a parts list somewhere?  Is the hardware open source?  What about the software?
