Hello to everyone. I just completed my red h-field kit and i had some questions.

1) I had 2 ferrite rod 200mm antennas. Should i cut their cables and solder them to new thickest ones??

2)Do i need any special settings in the controller? I have it in automatic mode.

Thanks in advance..

i believe very accurate or let's say extremely precise.
otherwise the calculation for the location of the lightning strokes could not be done.

of course i switched on the NTP server functionality. as with every watch one wants have it running very exactly. even if it is in a way of precision i never can use it. i configured my solaris server to use my system red as stratum 1. additional i configured 2 stratum 1 server near my location in vienna with "noselect". as i know from the past it is always bad if delay and especially jitter is high. and one additional from the location where the time is made ( braunschweig :-) also with "noselect". i also have a DCF77 which has per definition a big systemic error. i adjusted this with the "fudge" statement to be _near_ the GPS signal. when i look i have most of the time a situation like this:

Hallo Leute,
bin neu hier und eigentlich auf der Suche nach Jemanden, der mir Auskunft über Wintergewitter im Zeitraum Dezember 2014 Raum 84079 Landshut geben kann?
Würde mich über Hilfe freuen

My controller has suddenly become a bandwidth hog, especially on the upload side.

I've also noticed that the server is not seeing strokes but the map is showing the station is logging strikes. When I click on the red dot on the left, it shows that the station is not active. However, when I actually look at the controller directly, it is working great.

Anyone else having this problem?

Station 1218

I've completed RED system boards received a week ago. Loaded the software and got an OK from the programmer (after updating the ST firmware). All of the LEDs are appropriate and the Ethernet controller flashes appropriately. But screen is dark. Checking the module supply voltage on pin 2 gives me about 2.3 volts. On pin 3 sort of varies, but positive rather than the expected negative. I do have 5 volts on the back lite supply pin17. These measurements with or without the module DIP122-5NLED installed.

This is PCB10 ver4 11/2013. The pdf instructions Figure 43 with the schematic (for ver3) is blank. I can probably follow traces and do a schematic, but pin 2 doesn't seem to have a trace to my eyes and it would be a lot easier with a schematic.

Anyone help? Thanks,

Hi all,

I am just watching (nearly 20.00 UTC Sunday) local commercial weather site (Weatherzone) some monsoonal activity in northern Australia. PNG and Indonesia, with their site indicting some lightning activity but no hits in the Blitz system for any Oceania stations, why??

I'm a newby here with completed hardware that seems to check out all right.

Does the first step in programming (after obtaining a user account) involve downloading the firmware from the Blitzortung "service" area? If so, where should this best be placed in one's computer? Does entering it later as a "program" require its location info (in the form of file links? Or can one just use the name Firmware.bin?

I plan to use the STM32 link utility.

Any guidance appreciated.

I have a compleet system RED For sale.
Controller 10 V3, Pre-Amplifier 14 V1 and Amplifier 13 V1
It must be build! It is not assembled.
With this set you can make a complete working system with a E-field antenne.

I will wait for the system Blue.
I'am running now a system Green .

Let me know if somebody is interesting.

SORRY SYSTEM SOLD

Could someone give me a steer on what kind of cable to use for connecting the controller to my modem/router? Obviously ethernet, but should it be CAT5e network type?

Thanks, Jim[/size][/font]

Is there anyone that want to sell his PCS's for the E-field?
Or where can I order this PCB's with all the parts?
