    Schedulling.

    in Configuration Support

    Hi there, can anyone please help me out?

    I would like to schedule audiomoth to make 5 minutes records every hour during the whole day (thus 24 files per day). However, after twelve hours, only one 5 min file was recorded. I used exactly the same configuration in a second audiomoth device and three five minutes files were recorded. Find in attachments the image of my configuration app.


    Thanks a lot in advance!

    We are now using SanDisk ULTRA cards and they are working fine as well.

    Great. SD cards seem to be very variable in quality. We are only recommending SanDisk Extreme cards now as they always seem to work reliably.

    Dear Alex (and to whom else it may concern): apperently, my problem was related to the sd cards. I bought new ones (same specification as the old ones but a different brand) and audiomoth is now working just fine.


    Alex, thank you very much for your promptness and attention. Best regards,

    JV

    That configuration is working fine for us. Are you still seeing the same problem?

    Can you email me the single file that it did write (alex.rogers@cs.ox.ac.uk).

    @João Victor A. de Lacerda Great. That should work okay for 48kHz recordings (as it is class 10) but SD cards vary enormously in their quality and speed, and the markings sometimes don't match what you actually achieve in practise. We generally only use SanDisk Extreme cards.

    @Alex Rogers If the SD is the root of the problem, red light should be on when the device is recording?

    @João Victor A. de Lacerda The green LED should flash whilst it is waiting to start the recording, and the red LED will flash during the recording. However, if something goes wrong whilst writing to the SD card, it will flash both red and green together, and then go back to waiting for the next recording to start, flashing the green LED again.


    The header of the WAV files shows the battery voltage when the recording was started so you can sometime
