How to create 300 sec files in continuous recording?

Another option we were thinking of would be to add a 'chop up' function to the config app so that you can record continuously so not lose any time between periods. The problem is really that the sleep function is being used to divide up large files which wasn't really the original intent.

Thanks for your reply, I understand.

Just how common is the "problem" that you have tried to solve with the increase in minimum sleep time? My experience has been that a 2 second sleep works perfectly and setting sleep to zero or 1 second defaults gracefully to a 2 second sleep. I've just confirmed this behaviour recording 15sec files at 256kHz on an AudioMoth v 1.0.0 running firmware 1.4.0 - and using a only a Sandisk Ultra SD card (32GB formatted exFAT). Can I suggest that you remove the 5sec limit but advise users to check the performance of their devices before deploying with sleep times less than 5sec.

Additionally there is an issue with the way that the 5sec limit has been applied in the config app. It is now impossible to type any number commencing with a digit less than 4. This nonsense means that the only way to enter - for example - a sleep time of 300 seconds is to enter either 59 or 500 and then scroll up or down using the arrow keys! ,

Thank you very much Alex, it works perfectly!

@Adrien CHARBONNEAU You could schedule recording 3555s + 5s sleep.

Then split the wav files when retrieving them from SD card to disc. This can be done either with the tool in Configuration App or with a third party software (eg. Kaleidoscope). This can take some time though, depending on computer power and disc/memory performances.

That would loose recording only 5 seconds per hour.
