We distinguish the different generations according to the color of the PCB.
System MINI¶
System BLUE is the current generation of our detectors. more
System BLUE¶
This hardware has been offered between 2016 and 2023. Compared to RED it has the adjustable amplifiers on the controller board and the external pre amplifiers are connected via differential signal transmission. more
System RED¶
System RED has been offered between 2013 and 2016. It was a completely new development and was based on the STM32F4 Discovery board. Compared to GREEN it has much better signal quality and efficiency. more
System GREEN¶
This was the first generation of our TOA lightning detectors until 2012. This hardware isn't supported anymore as its signal quality and accuracy is very bad compared to the successors. You can find the documentation below.

Trackers¶
System GREEN needed a running computer or another device for sending its signal data to our servers. The software for that was called a "tracker" and several different versions were available. Some can be downloaded here:
