I took delivery of my equipment yesterday and spent all day soldering the parts to main board. I have connected up to the power supply and nothing seems to work and only led that works is power and gps. I'm really stuck now and need some help please?
I have attached a picture of what I have done and welcome your feedback please?
Прошу отписать тех, кто из России или, просто, говорит по-русски. Хотелось бы обменяться контактами. Синяя плата никак не зарегистрируется до конца, надо понять почему.
Hi All
I have now finished building the kit and in the testing phase. Things seem to be working but I see no output from my site on the maps. Also I tried switching to manual mode for gain etc (set at 10,10 hp on & off) as suggested in the forum but the signal graph is then empty of a trace.
I am getting the odd flash on the signal led - more so when looking at the graph in automatic mode.
I am getting a good gps signal but on the main status screen it says GPS NO and further down it says authentication no - I have put in my login details but that stays the same.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Regards
Alan
Hi
I am asking about the pin connections of the 8 way patch cord for the H preamp. Should the pin 1 at the preamp end be connected to the pin 1 of the main board end or crossed over so it is pin 1 to pin 8, 2 to 7 and so on.
Many thanks
Alan
I've developed a little cron job that can send emails to me for lightning strikes around any location from myblitzortung.
I'm happy to add anyone else to this job who has an interest, and a working station.
Please send an email to bostrikes@gmail.com with your station number, the lat and lon of the region that you interested in, whether you want an email daily or weekly and how many strikes you want listed. When I get time I will add your email to the cron job.
If this breaks any of the community policies then I am happy to cease providing this service.
Hi All
So new I'm waiting for the dispatch note for the blue system.
I've just had major surgery so I am rather tied to light tasks so I thought about building a crossed loop antenna. I have a quantity of 10mm copper plumbing pipe which might be suitable but I've been unable so far to find exactly how the antenna is made and the wiring details. I need a step by step idiots guide to construction. I'm sure somewhere in the forum there is just that so if anyone can point me there I'd be most grateful. I've seen the mini guide but it doesn't give a simple man like myself quite enough detail. I'm happy with making the hardware.
Regards
Alan
Hey guys, depending on conditions, my station will be down for the hurricane. We're in Jupiter, Florida, two miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The E-field probe has to come down from the roof, but the H-field will remain on as long as possible. The anemometer and weather station will also remain online as long as possible.
Wish us luck!! Jupiter Live Weather
Hi All, For the last couple of days, after finally getting a GPS antenna, I have been able to start testing 1935.
Everything appeared to be fairly normal with the "E" antenna although I had a lot of noise and interference on the ferrite antennas.
Early this morning I updated the firmware from blue 8.2 to the latest firmware listed, blue 8.32b.
The upload appeared to be successful.
However, although the station stats appear to have my station as running, I appear to be offline and it does not appear to be sending any signals?
The debug log is repeating the following sequence over and over again.

This morning I tried updating again, and the result is the same. I have read through most of the forums, looking for anything similar or related, but I have not been able to find anything. I have of course tried switching it on and off and rebooting, all the LED sequences and beeps and the temperature of the chips seem to be O.K. The signals, see:-
Again this seems to keep repeating this strange waveform and the numbers are just leaping about randomly. I am now at a dead end, I don't know what else to do! Thanking you all in advance for any help.
Kindest regards,
Unfortunatly i completly reset the browser and stored passwords and i have forgotted the login to the web interface of the station - blue system.
I have to hardware reset the station or download again the firmware with the usb interface?
The simplies way ?
Thanks

I just discovered this community a few days back and am signed up on the waiting list for a blue kit. Seeing that I am 3255 on the wait list and it appears that there are 2 other stations within a few hours drive (FL/USA) so it'll be a while.
Don't get me wrong, I AM NOT complaining about the wait, but I am finishing my parts collection for a weather station and would like to integrate this project from the beginning if possible. The technicals of productions are not a problem so I am wondering if the full BOM and gerber files are available so I can just make my own?
