3 роки томуHigh tech falling out of the sky? Is this true? Yes, 3000 times each day around the world. And it can be a lot of fun to hunt this “fall-out.” With a LoRa module, a Raspberry Pi, and an RTL-SDR dongle. Come with me on a drive through the night. And learn how you can experience such adventures, too. Maybe with your kids?

The last flight was this week and we try to measure radioactivity with a simple geiger counter. If one day you want to do you own balloon launch, fell free to contact us.

These then parachute through the storm and provide data for storm analysis.

@@AndreasSpiess The balloons were quite large but I don't remember the exact size. The payload was 1 foot cube and had ballast as well as a parachute. The operational altitude was 60,000 feet and above. I don't know the frequency or protocol used (I wasn't interested in radio at the time) but looking back. It seemed to be 70cm or shorter wavelength. Their tracking system used GPS for location and other airborne repeaters to send the location back to a ground station. The mission was to track oil production and freight movement in areas with no other telecommunication options.

Good stuff! I used to listen to radiosondes in the southwest UK in the 1970s, when they were on 27 MHz just above the (illegal) CB band. They were analogue, of course, and I think they may even still have been using thermionic valves. The various sensors generated voltages, and a rotating motorised cam coupled them in sequence to an audio VCO which AM'd the transmitter - so there was a regular twelve note musical phrase with a regular rhythm, with the different notes drifting at different rates as the various weather parameters changed. Late at night on an otherwise dead band it was very eerie hearing this machine music drift in and out of the static as the balloon moved away. I'd love to find a recording of this, I can hear the tones so clearly in my memory.

Hi from New Zealand. I actually release RS41 sondes from Invercargill. The connector on the bottom of the board is not just for programming. Its mainly to connect to Ozone sensors for doing Ozone soundings. Before releasing the sondes, we sit them on a ground check device which powers up the sonde and sets its frequency, as well as checking all the sensors. This is all done wirelessly. The old RS91 sondes needed plugged in to start and set, but not these ones. Cheers!

Friend and I caught our first sonde (RS92) almost 6 years ago. Got very lucky because at that time I did not know you'd have to fox hunt for the signal. Literally retrieved hundreds of radiosondes ever since. However, with these simple finding devices it has become very easy to chase sondes and there are now too many hunters in my area. It's simply not worth bothering about, unless the sonde falls on my doorstep. I miss the days when friend and I were crawling around in the dark, with a Yagi TV antenna in one hand, and a laptop in the other.

So far, found 2 radiosondes. Third is there somewhere in the forest, but all searches were futile. Great video anyway! Thanks!
@AndreasSpiess 3 місяці тому
Cool! If they stopped transmitting, they are hard to find in a forest…
@9A4GEMilan 3 місяці тому
@@AndreasSpiess Yes, that is true. I still have hope to find it. My friend actually heard on his walkie radiosonde, but at that day unable to go further into forest. Now, I am still trying to find it. Other two radiosondes are no problem to find, got there and by using LFA antenna, found it relatively quickly.

Very nice video of the radio probes chasing. I have a lot of fun to find probes. Thanks for the link to my channel ;-)

@@AndreasSpiess Many thanks. It's a nice hobby that we have. I can highly recommend that. Hopefully this will make the community bigger :-)

Thank you for sharing, this is great! Quick question: Do you have any videos or discussion on the antenna/vector network analyser that you used? Is that appropriate to calibrate many different types of antennas?
@AndreasSpiess 3 роки тому
There are such videos on this channel

Years ago I found a balloon from a school class in a forest. Sent them a nice post card ;)
@AndreasSpiess 3 роки тому
They for sure liked it!
@Beeblzaphod 3 роки тому
Are you reading my mind, Andreas? I've been thinking couple of times recently about a way to track those baloons. Thanks again for the excellent video. BTW, along with the TTGO board I also ordered a replacement diode B5819W to fix a potentially dangerous design flaw in battery charging circuit as mentioned in comments to video #224. Safety first...

Nice use of my TTGO 433 that i purchased for the failed Fossa sat1 . Now set up and waiting to listen in for my first reception of weather balloon. 4 launch sites around me. But the last 24 hours the telemetry shows all have slipped out of range of more than 50 miles. Only issue i find so far is the green LED is already flashing without anything being in range and no data. Would ne nice to have the device running permanently and adding a sounder as a balloon passes in range.
@AndreasSpiess 3 роки тому
Strange that the green LED was flashing. This is not right, I think. Check on radiosondy how high the balloon is. If it is above 10000 you should hear it quite far.
@andrewtitcombe8378 3 роки тому
@@AndreasSpiess Reason TTGO v2 green LED flashing is its on GPIO22 conflict with the CLK for the oled . Nothing to do with Signal received pulse on GPIO 25. I will be soldering a active 3v sounder to GPIO 25 and ground and wait for a balloon to pass within range.to test this . www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/big-esp32-sx127x-topic-part-3/18436
@andrewtitcombe8378 3 роки тому
Had my first reception on TTGO v2 yesterday. First day of tracking . I lost track of it only 8km from my location while it's altitude was 10km. No data received by SQ6KXY from that point either. So I assume something must have failed on the balloon Sonde. From Andreas videos on Antennas i know my TTGO antenna is trash. looking to replace it and get a Vector Antenna impedance checker again from Andreas youtube videos..
