Minor update to the configuration app to bring in some bugfixes uncovered by your usage, as well as some tweaks to functionality.
Expanding amplitude thresholded recordings now allows you to set the maximum length of the resulting files. If a generated file would be empty then it isn't created, resulting in a smaller dataset.
Make sure you're using the latest version before making a post in the support forum, as the issue you're having may have been fixed in a subsequent update.
In order to use the new features added in versions 1.3.0 and greater of the Configuration App, you'll need to update your AudioMoth firmware to the latest version (1.4.0).
Apply the firmware to your devices using the AudioMoth Flash App.
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.

Great new features, thanks to the whole team!
Would it be possible to have custom 'maxim file length' in the Expan AudioMoth Recordings? We normally split files into 5 seconds, and sometimes into 2 seconds, depending on the survey. Besides, 5 seconds files is quite common among bat surveyors and researchers.
Many thanks!
Agreed Davidlee, well put, that works. +1 for configurable sleep below 5sec
@Peter Prince
Thanks for the update. However - re the 5sec minimum sleep time - by "covering all bases" you have arbitrarily degraded performance for people who never previously had a problem.
I have 4 AudioMoths (v1.0.0 & 1.1.0) recording to 32GB Sandisk cards - 3×Extreme & 1×Ultra - formatted exFAT. I've never had any problems recording with a 2 sec sleep time, even with the Ultra card. Also if I set the sleep time to zero the detectors default to a pause between recordings of 2 seconds. Can I suggest that a better way of truly covering ALL bases would be to remove the sleep time restriction but add a message to the config app warning that sleep times shorter than 5 seconds are not supported and may lead to problems, so performance should be checked before deployment.
Just downloaded version 1.3.3 and works fine as expected. Thank you much.
