New versions of the AudioMoth Configuration App, Time App and Firmware are now available and online. We’ve made specific improvements to use long filenames which are more easily read by users and are compatible with common analysis packages, and also to support local time zones which makes setting recording periods much easier. The new configuration app is compatible with the previous firmware, and vice verse, but to use all the features you should update both.
AudioMoth Basic Firmware (1.2.0)
- Support for long human-readable file names (e.g. 20181212_0930.WAV)
- Support for local time for file names and filesystem timestamps
- Support for reporting the firmware version number
- Improved reliability if an error occurs whilst writing to SD card
- Change to scaling strategy such that samples are now written to WAV file at their native resolution with no additional scaling (e.g. 384kHz files use the lower 12 bits of each 16-bit sample while 48kHz files use all 16 bits).
AudioMoth Configuration App (1.2.0)
- Additional 256kHz sample rate
- Support for using local time for recording periods
- Support for reading the firmware version number and description
- Change to layout to better support use on small laptops with 768 x 1366 displays
AudioMoth Time App (1.0.3)
- Support for using local time
- Support for reading the firmware version number and description
Hey there! I just checked out the new firmware update, and it’s exciting to see how you've streamlined the config app. I remember tinkering with settings on my first acoustic device—it felt like playing a game of Slope, trying to navigate the curves without crashing! The smoother interface will definitely help folks get more creative with their setups. Are there plans to integrate more features for user customization? That would be awesome! Keep up the great work!
Nice update—support for human-readable filenames and local time zones is a big usability win, especially for organizing and analyzing recordings. The reliability improvements and better sample handling also make it more robust overall. You’ll often see tech updates like this discussed alongside a mix of other topics online, even casual mentions of things like Slope Rider in lighter conversations.
