Hi.

I'm having problems with my audiomoth. The recordings cut short after two days, when it should have lasted more.

Batteries are Amazon https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07NWVWKRG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title, and the SD is https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0FCZTYSN6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title.

Here's the summary file, what happened?

I'm trying to set up my AudioMoth, but it doesn't display the correct time and I can't manually set it. The time now is 17.29, but the app says it's 01:48 UTC +1

I have installed Chime which does show the correct time, but I can't see where to enable Chime in the configuration.

Can someone please advise?

I recently bought 10 audiomoths, and 9 of them work perfectly, but there is one unit that is not able to update to the latest software.

I get an error message, see attached image.

When I tested it using the version of software that it came with (1.10.1), I can configure it, it will record at the right times, but the recordings are faulty (it almost sounds like the soundfiles are backwards).

Is there any options in the AudioMoth Flash App that I can try to reinstall the audiomoth?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

During annotation for a passive acoustic monitoring project in India, I noticed that recordings from one particular site consistently show a narrow tonal line at approximately 17 kHz across most files. It appears as an almost constant horizontal band in the spectrogram rather than a biological call.

The recorder used here was not deployed at any other site, so I can't compare it against itself elsewhere.

Has anyone come across something like this before? Any idea what it could be? Hardware artefact, power supply noise, or something environmental?

Attaching a screenshot of the spectrogram for reference.

Thanks!

I recently purchased two Audiomoths with IPX7 cases. Each was deployed about 8 meters above the ground on extension poles. They are in open areas exposed to occasional high wind and rain. They are about 500 meters or so apart.

When changing batteries a few days ago, I noticed the Gore vent in one case was ruptured. I don't know exactly when the vent was ruptured. I brought home the audiomoth and case to replace the vent. I also looked at the recorded files. The files recorded as expected in terms of names, timing, etc.

However, each file contains primarily static. Animal sounds can sometimes be heard through the static, but static dominants and renders the recordings useless.

I placed the Audiomoth in a sealed ziptop bag with dessicant bags for three days. I then made a test recording by switching on the Audiomoth to the default setting. The test…

Is there any possibility that a bad batch of GPS hats were shipped? I bought three; one powered up with appropriate LED flashes for one programming/recording cycle, then failed. The other two do not power up at all. I checked my soldering and the voltage at the supply pads, everything looks good.

Note that I am well experienced with that particular GPS receiver, the CDtop PA1616S, in other settings and forms, especially the Adafruit Ultimate GPS version. I had not used it in the form of the Audiomoth GPS hat before. PA1616S

The recorders themselves are very nice, thank you for supplying them.

Is there a pcb layout and circuit diagram available for this. Which are the vulnerable parts. It has no LEDs and is not recognised by the configuartion app.

Thanks

Hello. I have a new AudioMoth that I am trialling before putting out in the field. I am using a SanDisk Extreme and Duracell Optimum batteries. Each time I start recording (switching to Custom), I get the device recording and saving files and then it simply stops recording. Both LEDs flash suggesting a recording error. I have formatted the SD Card and also run a write/read test on it (all good). The length of time before stopping seems to be between 1 and 6 hours.

I've attached the config file, the recording file summary from the last test, and the SD card RW results.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Martin

Hi, I'm having issues with the Chime app. As you are seeing it displays the wrong time (it's different fron the device). There's no way to edit it. I can't correctly chime the audiomoths this way.
