Hi, There is a readme file for the Flash software here - https://github.com/OpenAcousticDevices/Flash - that describes how you can check the CRC of the current flash contents:


> ./flash -c /dev/tty.usbmodem1421

Flash CRC: 4393


The returned value will match that of the firmware that you have installed. The CRC of the up to date AudioMoth 1.1.0 firmware is 4393.

Yes, you'll need to download the software in the link and run it from the C:\ prompt.

    Configuration app does not recognise audiomoth

    Question 
    I'm trying to set up an audiomoth but everytime I connect the device to my laptop the time on the configuration app (1.2.4) remains grey. I read that it could be a USB cable problem. But the same USB cable works fine on the laptop of my supervisor. Could there be anything wrong with my settings? Johan

    Flash Utility Fails on First Run

    Discussion 
    Every time I try to upload a new firmware over version 1.2.2 or 1.3.0, using "flash -u COMx AudioMothx.x.x.bin", the Flash utility fails at the first attempt with message "ERROR: Timed out waiting for send confirmation from AudioMoth". The device is then left in an apparently "bricked" condition, with no LED activity when connected to the PC via USB. However if the Flash procedure is repeated, after disconnecting the power, the device connects correctly as a USB serial device and the Flash utility behaves correctly and re-installs the firmware (any version). This behaviour is repeated every time I attempt to flash the firmware - ie Flash fails at the first attempt but succeeds at the second. The problem only occurs if the existing firmware is AudioMoth1.2.2 or later - when up/down-grading from AudioMoth1.2.1 or earlier Flash will always succeed at the first attempt.

    Audiomoth will only record on default mode

    Question 
    Hello, I have two audiomoths that will only record on default mode. When I put on custom mode the green light keep flashing. I have tried different sd cards, still the same.
