Schedulling.


Imagem1jpg

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!

Can you confirm the version number of the configuration app and the version number of the firmware on the two devices.

The version number of the configuration app is 1.2.2.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how can I access information on the device firmware?

Plug the AudioMoth in and the firmware version will appear in the window at the top of the configuration app.

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

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

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

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.

    Configuration app not working

    Question 
    I have installed version 1.2.5. The app will not recognise local time. It registers 1969 when I select local time. I have installed new batteries in the AudioMoth, although I did not need to. I have rebooted my computer (Windows 10). I did not have this issue with 1.2.2. I did not have any recordings when I deployed it for 12 hours last night (33 degrees F this morning. Older batteries at 4.0 V.) That has never happened but may be unrelated and perhaps I did not throw the switch all the way to custom.. Nevertheless, I just test recorded in default mode and it recorded fine but the date on four files was screwy. What is going on? Can I get back to the older configuration app? After this I flashed the unit and it now contains firmware version 1.3.0. I then deleted the configuration app from the computer and loaded it fresh. It still will not recognise the correct local time. I have some time constraints on what I am doing. This problem does not help. SOLUTION: Finally, I added the new version of the app to the Windows Defender firewall, and that appears to have resolved my issue. Interestingly, prior to this solution, when I reinstalled the app it would put the icon in the tray, but it would not automatically create a shortcut. Now it does, and all is well.

    Hi, open and save configuration worked well before updating for last firmware. But, it seems not to work anymore ? Inoperative function in the menu. Any ideas ? Thanks.

    White lines in recordings - Placement of recorder??

    Question 
    Currently in the field where I deployed two Audiomoths, that were tied on a tree (next to each other). Each recorder was tested with different batteries to test how long they last (Duracell and Eveready). I am currently using a San Disk Extreme - UHS 3 as recommended and the latest firmware - 1.3.0. After 3 days of recording, when I retrieved the memory cards, I see a ton of white lines at high frequencies in almost all of the recordings. Why is this happening? What's the solution?
