Use chime but keep sleeping and recording duration

Hi Everyone,

to just change battery and SD card in the field I'm trying to use the chime app to setup the time after those change. Yet, it seems that it overwrite the initial config.txt and thus I'm loosing my initial sleep and recording duration. Do you know if there is a way to combine Chime App to setup time and keep parameters of the custom config.txt already on the SD card?

Thanks!

Hi Maxime, The chime does not change any of the settings on the AudioMoth - it only sets the time.

The AudioMoth does not read the CONFIG.TXT file - it is just an output summarising the settings.

When you switch to CUSTOM the AudioMoth will write a new CONFIG.TXT file with the configuration set the last time the Config App was used. Alex
