Did anyone ever replace the mic with a structure-borne sound sensor?

I would like to record the activity of wood boring insects and therefore use a structure-borne sound sensor. Can anyone recommend how to implement this on a AudioMoth? Can I use the rx pin and make this an input for sound or better replacing the mic? And can anyone give me a guideline how to pick a sensor that works well with the e rest of the electronics?

Anyway, I want wo say “Thank You!” for this cool tool!

Cheers

The new hardware version (AudioMoth 1.2) supports an external microphone which might be the most direct solution. There are also four GPIO pins on the top of the board that can be used as digital inputs so with some front-end electronics you could also use that the feed a signal into AudioMoth.
