Because I want to use the AudioMoth where "removal" is an issue. I'm looking at the Samson 1 Micro case, my idea is to alter the foam to hold the AudioMoth and drill a hole for the Microphone and cover the hole with clingfilm. I can then use a padlock to close the case and lock it onto cyclelock/python lock. The case I'm getting is scuffed hence the cost of £15 inc postage. I did look at the ePTFE stickers for the audio windows but they only come packed in 1,000 which is too expensive for me. If anyone has advice, please chip in.
Question
Hi all, We are conducting AudioMoth acoustic surveys at the same time as point-transect surveys. Secondary surveyors will be tasked with capturing acoustic data at predetermined point stations throughout the day. We recognize secondaries shouldn't hold the devices in their hand, wear it as a necklace, and so forth, because any subtle movement might distort the audio. We were thinking about attaching it to a hat (velcro?) or a headlamp. Maybe attach the device to a PVC? Does anyone have recommendations on a potential apparatus?
We're going to make the parts for a laser cut acrylic case available in a couple of weeks and as part of that will have some of the waterproof membrane stickers that we've been using. We can probably also make these available seperately from the rest of the case.
Looking back to Alex's message of 30 March 2018, were the acrylic cases ever made available, or are the waterproof membrane stickers used on these cases available?
The good news is my case works, it's had a night in UK rain and recorded a bat, I covered the hole in the acoustic cloth (see thread on acoustic cloth).
for interest, here is "my" finished case https://sites.google.com/view/audiomoth/housings-or-cases/samson-case
Hi Alex,
What about the acrilic case and the waterproof stikers? will be it ready for the Audiomoth bonus 4th round? Will it be available as an option in GroupGets with the Audiomoth? Thanks
Hi Javi, They should be ready before the orders ship. I think Alasdair is planning to distribute them directly, rather than through GroupGets as they will be distributed as kits from the UK.
Great, Thanks. Please, notify me when it is ready
Hi, How is the development of the case? Thanks
Hi
Although my homemade case is good please email when kitb is ready.
Dear all,
Could you please advise me how large should be the hole drilled in mm. I need to know in order to suggest the size for the waterproof acoustic membranes.
Many thanks.
Because I wanted to ensure overlap between the microphone and the hole - I used a 5mm drill and the measured hole is 5.5mm.
