Construction of More Blitzortung Lightning Detectors

I offer my help to the Blitzortung Forum members who find soldering is not for them, especially the tiny components; the  boards below are:

Top Left –  Blitzortung Controller with pre made daughter board plugged in

Top-Right – Amplifier which interfaces the antennas (not shown) to the controller

Bottom Left – E-Field Amplifier connects to controller

Bottom Right – E-Field Pre Amplifier  connects to E-Field Amplifier

SAM_5587 (Medium)

The owner of the boards (Julian – Bremen, Germany) had kindly put all the parts in uniquely identifiable bags which certainly saved me time usually spent in sorting out the components.

In total I spent about 9 hours building up the boards and installing the firmware in the daughter board, hopefully that will be another one on the Blitzortung network.
