Does the dev-case work w external microphone and gps add-on?
I'm about to set up a set up AudioMoth Dev with a GPS-module to sync the time, and an external microphone such as the Clippy EM272 Mono Microphone.
1) Should I chose the AudioMoth GPS Hat or the AudioMoth GPS Board for this?
2) Does the above solution with GPS and external 3,5mm microphone work with the AudioMoth Dev Case?
The reason for asking qstn 2 is that I've seen "Case not compatible when using an external mic" stated for the Dev Board at LABmaker's site.

Hi Andreas, For AudioMoth Dev you should use the AudioMoth GPS Board and the AudioMoth Dev case. The AudioMoth Dev will work with most electret capsule microphones. However, consider the AudioMoth External Microphone which is specifically designed for the AudioMoth Dev case and mounts in the M16 hole in the base. The electret capsule microphones work very well for birds and low frequency sounds. The internal MEMS microphone is much more sensitive for high frequency recordings such as bats.

This uses a Primo EM419N capsule with a waterproof mount and a windshield. https://github.com/OpenAcousticDevices/Application-Notes/blob/master/An_External_Electret_Microphone_for_AudioMoth/An_External_Electret_Microphone_for_AudioMoth.pdf
