Minor design tweak

2 comments

Would it be possible to adjust the position of the switch so that the sticking out bit is within the bounds of the board? Potentially by a 1mm cutout and shifting it inboard, so that it is within the rectangular bounds of the board.

It would then fit perfectly into a Really Useful Box size 70 ml. At the moment the switch requires a slight modification to the box and is easily knocked.

This is a necessary modification ! After testing 1 of my two new Audiomoth units I unrapped the second to deploy them and found that the “sticking out bit” was brocken off !! I don’t know when or how it got brocken but I think this mod would help in preventing this sort of problem !

Sorry to hear about the broken switch Martin and thanks for the mod suggestions and feedback, we will look into this hardware feature for the next revision.

    CAD drawing of housing and gaskets

    Hi there I've made a CAD drawing of the housing for the Audiomoth, which can be exported to a STL file for 3D printing, as well as drawings of the gaskets. The housing is two pieces rather than 4, so if you use it, you'll only need the one gasket, rather than 3. The gaskets: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a9a95cd9a59abcb6024d6400/w/684d9b044f1ac021b341b038/e/16491f34d189aebff4e7ccb7 The housing: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f2a7716c1aee0c2efec30e17/w/16cd33fcd57e9390832a3f53/e/92d396efb199ed6c0ad1a795

    Small "lock and lock" cases

    Hi all, I thought I would share my case with the community, it is a variation on a theme but it has worked well in the few tests I have done. The case is a Lock & Lock rectangular 180ml container (HPL805): http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/onlineshop/locklock/rec_hpl805.php The inner foam housing is 2 layers of EFP30 Polyethylene closed cell foam sheets 20mm thickness. One is supporting the AudioMoth the other is cut to fit the AudioMoth inside : https://www.easyfoam.co.uk/closed-cell-polyethylene-foam.php Then over the hole drilled for the microphone I have used Buzzer Waterproof Acoustic Membranes brought on Alibaba: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Buzzer-Customize-Size-Black-Waterproof-Acoustic_60812354593.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.0.0.6c233527JZ969G&s=p The box remained watertight under a tap at full strength, focused directly on the acoustic membrane, so I am hoping rain at an angle won't pose too much of an issue. Only thing I am a bit nervous about is the glue holding the membrane, if it will withstand tropical humidity. I will keep everyone updated. Cheers

    Audiomoth in close exhibits of zoos

    Hello! I am a phd and my focus is to record felid vocalizations in zoo enclosures. I need large number of samples and large number of species, so I was thinking to buy many audiomoth to handle in the exhibits. I just wondering if the quality of registrations can be good also in environments with strong noises such as visitors voices, zoos speaker voices, other animal vocalizations etc. what do you suggest? Any previous experiences? thank you Ros
