Buen día.

Algún hispanoparlante que me envié alguna foto de su configuración, en lo particular me llegó el sistema "azul" pero tengo dudas con la antena.

I'm still not having any luck connecting to the server after recommissioning Green system. I've logged in to the "User data" and input information, and changed to "Forum".
Is there something I'm missing?  Huh As I posted yesterday system appears to be working this end.

  Use of historic data for informative project
Posted by: piemonkey - 2021-07-12, 14:48 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - No Replies

I attend an event (well, I used to when it could happen, and will again after covid), which takes place in an area with regular storms with a lot of lightning. Measures are taken to ensure safety from the lightning strikes, but many people at the event don't follow them. I'd love to be able to use the past data of strikes for the area to demonstrate that the chances of a strike occurring nearby are high. Unless the cost of the parts for a detector falls significantly, I'm unfortunately not in a position to participate in data collection at the moment unfortunately.

How do I set it to my home location? It seems to randomly appear in different locations.

  System Red for sale. Solgt / Sold
Posted by: Einar - 2021-07-05, 20:18 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (1)

I prefer to sell to a user in Norway, so therefore I present it in Norwegian. If no norwegian buyer emerge, I will relist in english.

System Red med skjermede ferrit antenner selges. Det ble tatt offline for flere år siden da min fargelaser støyet så det ikke kunne registrere lyn.
Jeg tenkte det ble ny skriver, men den virker fortsatt. Og jeg prioriterer printer fremfor Blitzortung.

Den var på nett og virket bra (bortsett fra når printeren var på). Bare med ferritantenner. E-felt kortet følger med, men jeg har aldri brukt det. 
Mikrokontroller til E-felt kortet har jeg, men vet ikke hvor. Den er dog ganske kurant. Det følger med et CPU kort som reserve til  hovedkortet. ( STM32f4-discovery).

Bilder av de aktuelle kortene vedlagt, men jeg vet ikke om det virker. Mail meg for bilder om de ikke er der.

Jeg tenker meg NOK 3000,- for dette.

( Klikk på 1209 nedenfor for å se data fra da den var oppe. )

Var prisen for høy? Gi bud!

  Blue e-field antenna question
Posted by: llowrey - 2021-07-05, 18:40 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (2)

Hello,

The documentation for the Blue kit indicates that one can use the 'built-in' antenna and includes a photo of the PCB with the rectangular section opposite the antenna screw terminal, and labeled 'Probe / Antenna' below, still attached. That rectangular section is not electrically connected to the e-field board.

[attachment=4491]

It's been 25+ years since my coursework in electromagnetics so I'm a bit ignorant at this point. Is that separate rectangular section coupled in some way even though it is not electrically connected?

What, exactly, is the 'built-in' antenna?

Is it preferred to use a wire instead of the 'built-in' antenna?

System Blue (station 2488) for sale.  Assembled from kit in May 2019.  View online to confirm it is in working order.

The sale includes:

    System Blue
    Aluminium Blitzortung Housing.
    Two ferrite rods supplied by Blitzortung and housed in a right-angle PVC pipe.
    E-Field PCB in a makeshift pill-bottle container (you will probably want to improve this part).
    GPS Receiver and antenna with magnetic base, outside rated with cable.
    5V USB Power Supply

Photos available upon request.  Asking $500 USD plus shipping from Alberta, Canada.  Reasonable offers considered.
Payment by Paypal or email transfer. 
Preference given to buyer in this region as it would be good to continue coverage in this area.
Contact directly at westurner1975@gmail.com and expect a response within 2-3 days.  If you give me your shipping address I will provide a shipping quote.
