Hydromoth lights of death

Hello,


I have 4 hydromoths and one has started showing the long duration green and red flashing lights.

The device seems to save a config file out but nothing else. Using the same configuration for the other devices they are all working fine.


SD cards used are the sandisk extreme 64Gb, the batteries are energizer rechargables NiMh. These are the same as the other devices which record fine.


I have tried:


Using default recording - get long 5 long green and red flashes followed by short green and red flashes with nothing saved out.

Hi Ross, Does the problem follow the device or the SD card? Are the batteries definately fully charged, and have you reformatted the SD card? Alex

I bought an audiomoth dev by mistake instead of comum model. I am using a JST-PH conector to power it and I can configurate it on my note . But I am not getting results, no records. Is there something more to do them powering it? Many thanks for help.

Hi Fernando,


What type of battery are you using? Double check the polarity of the battery connector - there is no standard and different suppliers will use different polarities by default. You can change the polarity by lifting the small plastic lever that holds the crimped end of the wire inside the plastic housing, and swapping the ends over.

Hi Luiza, The GPS modules are not getting a good fix. Are you testing inside? They will likely need a clear view of the sky. Alex

No sound on my audiomoth recordings.

Hello everyone.

I am researching bird migration on Spain and I have a problem with my 1 month age audiomoth 1.2.0. Records are now with no sound at all. At the begining it was recording ok but something seem to happened. Now leds are working ok, schedule is ok but when I open archives with 5 different software, there is no sound at all. It is the same with different configurations and sd cards. What could be the problem? Can I solve it attaching an external microphone?


Thank you very much.


Jorge

Hi Jorge,

Can you share one of the WAV files. Microphones can be affected by water and moisture damage but that normally results in white noise.
