Hello to everyone!
Today I've finally decided to sign up to this forum after debating it for a while!
I though I'll introduce a program I've wrote: -
StormForce: Real-time lightning data from your Boltek LD-250 and/or Boltek StormTracker PCI. StormForce runs under FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows. I've developed StormForce to fill the gap in the market. Here's a few of the features: -
> Plots strikes on-screen (similar to NexStorm on Win32)
> Lightning image can be uploaded to your website
> Compatible with Boltek LD-250 (All supported OSes), Boltek StormTracker PCI (Linux-only due to the driver), and the Boltek EFM-100 (All supported OSes)
> Share the lightning data on your network so you can access your lightning data from anywhere via TCP, UDP, and multicast
> Works on multiple operating systems: StormForce is wrote in Python and is open source under the modified-BSD license
> Ability to track storms
http://code.google.com/p/stormforce/ is the main place to download it from.
Have a look at some screenshots on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stormforce/I've seen many questions on this forum asking whether the Boltek units work under Linux, well... This is your answer!
I hope you all like it.
Dan.
