Hey ho leute,
ich wollt mal fragen, wo man die antennen des blauen systems richtig hinstellt....
Die H-Feld antenne kann man ja wie es aussieht im zimmer montieren, solange sei weit genug von elektrischen geräten weg ist. aber wie weit ist "weit genug"?? hat da wer konkrete Meter angaben??
Weil ich wollte die H-feld antenne an die wand hängen. nur das probelm ist, dass auf der anderen seite der mauer der wlan router und mein pc steht. abstand ca 1m durch die mauer) reicht das??

und bei der E-feld antenne ist es ähnlich. bei der stelle, bei der ich es geplant hab, ist ca 3m umkreis eine straßenlaterne, sat-schüssel und andere elektrische (haushalts-)geräte. Warscheinlich reicht der abstand überhaupt nicht....wie weit muss dieser abstand sein? ich wohne auf dem land also hab ich mehr oder weniger platz ums haus. reden wir hier von 20m oder 50m??

außerdem besitzen wir im nachbargebäude (ca 20m) mehrere schweißgeräte. hat da wer nen tipp, was ich dabei beachten muss?

Danke schonmal für die hilfe. Hoffendlich kann ich wenigstens die H-feld antenne aufstellen. bei der E-feld seh ich schwarz


Grüße

Hello All,

Received my system blue in the mail today. I have it completely put together with the exception of the rocker switch. I guess I don't understand how to connect it to the board. I understand where it is supposed to be connected, but how? Appreciate any suggestions on this!

Can't wait to get it powered up!

Jeff

hey guys,
i´ve a questiton about the using of the "h-field and e-field" connection cabel.
in the manual ther is the sentence: "The H-field pre-amplifier is connected with a shielded twisted pair cable (FTP, STP, S/STP, or S/FTP) to the main board. This cable should not be placed next to the network cable."
BUT
can i place the RJ45-Cabel next to the Coaxial-cabel??

AND
in the manual there is the sentence: "The E-field pre-amplifier is connected with 75 Ω double shielded coaxial cable to the main board."
but i only find 4- or 5-Times shielded. Can i use this one too??

thank you for helping

Hi,

I received my System Blue a couple of days ago - built it OK and initial power-up looks good (starting next on the antennas). However I have been unable to create a new account on www.blitzortung.org for some reason:


I first attempted to register here:

http://en.blitzortung.org/login.php

But registering with a new username and Register Code (format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) simply blanks the data with no confirmation.

I then attempted to register here (link from the internal webserver - latest 8.0 beta FW):

https://www.lightningmaps.org/user/regis...XXXXXXXXXX

I enter name, desired username, e-mail address and password but get 'This password is not allowed!'

I've tried multiple different password options (longer, shorter, added capitals, added numbers, added symbols) - I also tried this on IE and Chrome browsers.

I also tried the password recovery function in case I had registered previously, but as expected I get 'Couldn't find an entry with username or email address XYZ'.


Thanks,
Peter

Today I got my GPS antenna and it is working proper.

So here is that type I´m using if someone is looking for a cheap one:

Hi!

running my System Blue for first experiments and set-up tests, waiting for my GPS antenna.

One question about the on-board connector S1 on PCB 19.3. By default 1-2 and 5-6 are jumpered but what about 3-4?
The schematic is telling me that a lot of IC's are connected to VDD but a jumper is needed on 3-4.

Obviously VDD is connected to the IC's since they are working. Is there any change in the PCB connecting them to VDD without the jumper or is there any further meaning for this jumper?

Hi for some weeks I have a problem with the red board
I see a error  No Amplifier connected
I have test this with 2 antennas and also with 2 amp boards
All with 2 different  ferrite antenna  
1 on the roof  and for this moment 1 into this room
The firmware version I have is now 8.0  
But also with the 7.4 version I have the same problem
Ware can I look for fix this problem ?
Greetings  Gert

USING  THE PLACEFILE  I SEE A BOLT AND + SIGN WHAT DIES THIS MEAN

Hello together

Now i get my system blue. Perfect.
But how i make a account for Blitzortung.org ?
In the documentation i can read there is a link on the "internal webserver". 
How can i reach that   . 
(Maybe i'm too stupid) 

Would be nice, if someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all!

received my system blue some days ago, assembled it ... and after powering on it does not start-up.
Only power leds, GPS flashing were on and also ETH green/yellow flashing.

Finally there was no firmware on the board! I installed the SW via "DfuSe Demo-Software"-
The SW seems to be running but I have not added GPS and antennas so far. So only basically everythings seems to be ok.

Now it's working but showing a "Error: Invalid controller PCB detected! ". I did download a new one from the WEB server but got a "Firmware_8.0_BLUE.bin" file which seems to be not the same as a "DFU" file.

Does anybody know a download link for a "DFU" file since I would like to update via "DfuSe Demo-Software"?

OK guys, forget about my question, there is an embedded SW upgrade option in addition to the SW download option!
Anyway hope the info below helps those who had the same problem like me getting a board without FW.



Cheers and 73 Hartmut / DK5LH

Here a short description for those who will have the same problem when receiving a board without pre-installed FW:
- download the "DfuSe Demo-Software" and follow the instructions as descriped in the system blue manual
- in my case the driver was not found and not installed! Therefore look where the SW was installed: maybe c:\program File (x86)\STM microelectronics...
- here you will find the drivers for manually installation
- now after successfully installing drivers everything should work as described in the system blue manual...but for those who have the same PCB 19.3 board as me...it's not the correct SW but seems to be running
