 lightning detection and mapping Is there any native-to-Linux system for lightning detection and mapping? The last time I searched (a few months ago), the best I found was some software which ran through a sound card (good, I have an unused onboard card), used homemade antennas (OK), and ran in VB (definitely NOT OK). Is there anything better out now? -- -eben QebWenE01R@vTerYizUonI.nOetP royalty.mine.nu:81 Two atoms are walking along. Suddenly, one stops. The other says, "What's wrong?" "I've lost an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!"  |

You'd have to share data with a close-by person, presumably with a common, highly accurate, timebase. Least, that's how another product I looked at worked. Unfortunately, it used VB. -- "Never go off on tangents, which are lines that intersect a curve at only one point and were discovered by Euclid, who lived in the 6th century, which was an era dominated by the Goths, who lived in what we now know as Poland." - from Nov. 1998 issue of Infosystems Executive. |
