Hi there, In order to use your AudioMoth as a USB microphone you first need to apply the USB microphone firmware. To do so, download the AudioMoth Flash App then from the menu select "AudioMoth USB Microphone". Download the latest firmware version and click "Flash AudioMoth". Now, when you set your AudioMoth to CUSTOM it should appear as a USB microphone. Let me know if you have any more questions. Peter

Hi John, Here are the URLs which the Flash App uses: https://api.github.com/repos/OpenAcousticDevices/AudioMoth-Firmware-Basic/releases https://api.github.com/repos/OpenAcousticDevices/AudioMoth-USB-Microphone/releases https://api.github.com/repos/OpenAcousticDevices/AudioMoth-GPS-Sync/releases Peter

Hi Oliver, We don't currently have a roadmap for upcoming firmware development. However looking forward, we will be releasing firmware version 1.10.0 at some point in the next couple of months. This update will bring the ability to schedule recordings around sunrise/sunset and will also add GUANO metadata to recordings. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Hi Akshay, I'm going to email you with the updated app shortly. It would be good to get your feedback and make sure it works fine on your machine too. The issue was basically just the version of Electron the apps were built with. They were still using quite an outdated version which until recently worked fine on Linux. I've updated the underlying modules (including Electron) and now the app should work on Ubuntu 22.04. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Hi again Akshay, I looked into this a bit more on my Linux machine and found a fix. I'll be releasing it as part of an larger update to the Configuration App in the next week or so. I'll post here to let you know when the update has been released. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Hi Akshay, Have you used any previous versions of the AudioMoth Configuration App on your Linux machine before now? Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Hi Carlos, A couple of questions so we can help diagnose the problem. First, which operating system are you using? If it's Windows, plug in the AudioMoth and set it to CUSTOM. Once that's done, open Device Manager and let me know if any AudioMoth USB Microphone devices are listed under "Sound, video and game controllers"? Thanks, Peter

Hi there, A couple of questions to work out what could be happening. Has this always been the case or have you previously been able to run the Configuration App? If you switch resolution before opening the application, does it still squash the window? Finally, could you possible share a screenshot of what the application looks like? Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Version 1.8.1 is now available, adding the ability to select multiple folders to split, expand, or downsample at once. Download app here Update notes

The best way to set a frequency trigger is by getting a recording of your target file and loading it up in the Filter Playground: https://www.openacousticdevices.info/filter-playground Once in the Playground you can experiment with different settings and see on the plots exactly what features in the audio would trigger your device. Once you have a configuration you're happy with, export the .config file and load it in the Configuration App to apply to your devices!

Hi Christine, The Windows installer available on our website was accidentally the 64-bit version. This has been fixed now. Redownload it to obtain the 32-bit version. May I ask what operating system you're running? It's extremely uncommon to come across a machine running a non 64-bit version of Windows nowadays. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

The manual has now been updated to be clearer. Thanks for the feedback!

At the cost of a small amount of noise on the recordings, energy saver mode can be enabled for sample rates 48 kHz or less to reduce energy consumption. A full explanation of what it's doing is available in the manual here.

When we released the firmware we noticed a small bug so quickly updated the firmware to fix it. You managed to download the firmware in this window when the old version was downloadable. To fix it, click File -> Open Downloads Folder or press Control + O (on Windows). In the folder which opens, delete 1.6.0.bin. Close and reopen the app, then download the latest firmware.

Hi Agus, Currently there's no way to pull the current configuration from an AudioMoth. However, when you apply a configuration to an AudioMoth, there are two ways to tell it's worked: first, the Configure AudioMoth will briefly go green when the process is successful and second, if the attached device does not have the clock set (it believes it is 01/01/1970) then applying the configuration through the app will also update the device's clock to the current time. If the clock at the top of the app window is now correct, the configuration has been sent. Hope that helps, Peter

Hey everyone, in response to your feedback we've re-enabled sleep periods of less than 5 seconds. There's a warning informing you that performance will vary based on the speed of your SD card, but you'll be able to use sub-5 second sleep periods again. Check it out here

Just pushed a fix. Download version 1.3.3 here and the sleep input should work as expected, with a limit of 5 seconds minimum. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Apologies, I misunderstood the issue you were having. I'll get a bugfix out shortly. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Hi everyone, the 5 second minimum is to give each recording time to close the file. The amount of time required to do this varies depending on the speed of the SD card used, so 5 seconds covers all bases. If you don't want to miss any audio, you can switch off the sleep period altogether and files will be created the length of each scheduled period. Peter Open Acoustic Devices

Could you email me at peter@openacousticdevices.info and I'll send you an installer for a slightly tweaked version of the flash app I'm working on. I've added the ability to quickly find the log file wherever it is your app is putting it. Peter
