HydroMoth Clock too fast

Hello,

I keep getting the message that the clock of my HydroMoth is running too fast. I have already tried the following steps, but the problem persists:

- Updated firmware to version 1.12.0

- Switched between local time and UTC

- Reformatted the SD card

- Removed the batteries for several minutes

The battery voltage is at 4.3 V. I also compared the time shown in the configuration app with my computer clock and confirmed that the HydroMoth clock is indeed running faster than expected.


Can I fix this somehow?

Hi, If the clock is actually running fast, it is most likely due to corrosion around the 32kHz oscillator on the PCB. Email andy@openacousticdevices.info and he'll be able to help diagonse the issue. Alex
