Device not connecting

Hi Everyone, I configured one audiomoth a few days ago and it worked perfectly. Today I tried to configure the rest and when I get to the stage of connecting the audiomoth the time and IS/battery is still greyed out. I have it switched to USB/off and it is flashing green to say its connected but its still greyed out and wont let me configure, help! Thank you

I did thank you, It turns out not all USB cables work, some only charge and don't allow the transfer of information thank you

Great. Yes, a couple of other people have reported the same thing. Seems there is no marking on a USB charging cable to distinguish it from one that also has the data lines. I think not putting in the data lines was perceived to be a security benefit when you plug into some random USB socket, but it makes life a bit more complicated.

    I can't record in any way

    Discussion 
    Hi, I have a problem with the configuration. At first everything worked fine, then the rest intervals were random and now there is no way I can record the default. Is there any way to reset the audiomoth? or what is the solution ?.

    noise at low frequencies

    Discussion 
    Hi, I am a new user of audiomonth and new to bioacustics as well, so my question might be naive but I still hope somebody can help me. I want to use the audiomonth to monitor owls. The species of interest (Eagle Owl) calls in the range of 300-600 Hz. When doing some tests over the last days, I can clearly hear the calls on the audio, but when looking at the spectrograms the calls are hard or even impossible to detect among the noise signals. This is not the case for higher frequency calls by other species though as the noise is limited to below 600 Hz. As I will have thousands of hours of recording later, I was hoping to see the calls on the spectrograms, rather than needing to listen to everything. Is there any possibility to reduce the noise signature other than reducing the gain? Would it help to have microphone foam around the entire audiomoth? Thanks Arne

    Flash before every deployment?

    Discussion 
    Hi, i just wanted to check if I am meant to flash the AudioMoths when redeploying them? I have just collected them and am in the process of saving the data from the SD cards and plan to redeploy them with different recording times, so just checking to see if I need to flash them before reconfiguring them. Thanks, Ariane
