Hi,
I bought 3 Audiomoths and I have problems with one of them.
When I received my new Audiomoths, I first updated the firmware. Everything went well for two of them. For the last one, I first put batteries, then connected to Flash app which recognized the device properly. I removed one of the batteries while it was still connected to the USB cable. After that, the Audiomoth never responded again: impossible to connect it to the apps, no recording and no LEDs lighting up anymore.
Did I break my Audiomoth? Is there a way to do a factory reset to reboot it?
Thanks for your help!
It's frustrating when new tech doesn't cooperate! Experiencing similar issues with my audio gear. Sounds like you might have interrupted the firmware update process. Before giving up, have you tried a different USB cable? Maybe even a different computer? Sometimes a fresh connection can do the trick. While waiting, maybe unwind with a quick game of Uno Online to clear your head. Hopefully, a simple fix gets your Audiomoth back on track.
Thanks a lot for your answer Alex. I applied this procedure an it worked great!😃
Hi Albert, Yes, remove the batteries, hold a paper-clip on the contacts on the top face of the AudioMoth connecting the two terminals together, and plug in the USB cable to power up the AudioMoth. It will go immediately to bootloader mode and you can flash it with the Flash App. If you select 'Show Manual Switch Instructions' in the menu option of the Flash App it will guide you through this process. It's a bit tricky to hold the paperclip and plug the USB cable in at the same time (getting someone else to help is easiest) but this will always work. Alex
