I've been trying to find an easy way to access a connected AudioMoth's device ID/serial number, and it seems the reported serial number visible in system information on a mac, or pulled via Python, is always just 0100 and not the device ID recorded in the config file and displayed in the time/config apps. Is there any plan to surface the device ID as the serial number in this case, or is the only option to use the desktop apps or USB-HID-Tool?

Hi there, anyone has or has seen frequency response curves for Hydromoths. I really need them for a project. Would very much appreciate if someone could share! Thanks rod

Dear AudioMoth Support Team,

I'm experiencing a problem with my AudioMoth device and would like to ask for your advice on what to check next.

The issue is the following: when I connect the AudioMoth via USB, configure it with the AudioMoth Configuration App, and set the date/time, everything appears to work correctly while it is connected. The device is detected by the app, the configuration can be written, and the clock can be set.

However, as soon as I disconnect the USB cable, the device appears to lose both the date/time and the configuration. When I reconnect it, the settings are no longer retained. This happens even though batteries are installed continuously.

I have already tried the following:

I reflashed the AudioMoth firmware.

I have a set of HydroMoths that appear to have some fairly significant internal clock drift -- i.e. even after syncing the clock to my computer's clock during configuration, the HydroMoth clock seems to run faster than it should. This has resulted in some scheduled recordings not occuring at the correct times. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you!

Is there a simple and inexpensive way to test the microphone sensitivity of previously used AudioMoths before I deploy them in the field for another season? I don't need great precision, but enough insight to know if I should use them for another year. Thank you!

I have been using the USB microphone with batty birdnet pi for about a year. The mic is mounted outdoors shielded from rain and in is case. The other day the mic failed. The LED on it would still flash but it would not register as a USB device on a computer. I replaced the mic with a spare and the system is back to working. I looked a the failed mic and there is evidence that it failed due to condensation. I know it would add to the cost but having it conformal coated would help with this problem.

On a second unit of ours, used less than 5 times, the unit is not turning on/recording/displaying any LED colours when batteries are plugged in. We have tested the same batteries in different Hydro Moth units, all of which work fine, but every combination of batteries (rechargable and non-rechargeable) lead to the same issue with this unit.

Almost new, used very few times (for hour recordings max).

You will see I have also been in contact with another faulty unit. Is it possible to send both of these in, and have them replaced by any chance please?

Thanks

I'm having an issue with multiple AudioMoth units and could use some help.

I recently deployed these recorders in the field, and they recorded everything perfectly. However, now that I am trying to reconfigure them for a new deployment, it seems like the microphone is no longer working or being detected.

Here is what I've tried so far:

• I am using the standard configuration settings in the AudioMoth Configuration App.

• I tried running a test recording using the default settings, but no audio is captured.

• I also tried testing the microphone with the chime for custom configuration, but it doesn't detect anything.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to use three AudioMoths since the end of April, but they’re all experiencing an issue with the internal clock. After configuration, they seem to lose track of time almost immediately. When switching to CUSTOM mode right after configuration, the red light stays solid while the green light flashes. Setting the time via the acoustic chime works temporarily, but the devices lose time again between recordings.

I’m running the latest firmware (1.12.1) and the newest version of the configuration app. Could I be missing something, or is this likely a hardware issue?

Thanks in advance for any help!
