Now here's a thing - I could not get my audiomoth into programming mode - turns out every paperclip in the house is coated with a varnish, presumable to stop them rusting, which means that they also don't conduct electricity! One short piece of copper wire later and the job's done.
As it a wet week, I've done some updates to my pages and manual - it's a collection of information from the forums which may be helpful to new/prospective AM users. If you see any errors, feel free to let me know. https://sites.google.com/view/audiomoth/home
Thanks David. That's really useful to know in case it catches anyone else out. Our university issue paperclips are obviously of a lesser quality.
