Flashing impossible

Hello,

I am trying to flash my audiomoth 1.10 with firmware 1.4.0

I am with Linux Mint 18.3. I had to follow (successffully) the paper clip procedure but when I try to flash I receive an error message (please, see screenshot below):

The audiomoth is connected.

I tried several times but no success.

Thank you for any help.

Hi, If you run the command line tool you will get a list of existing ports:

> flash.exe

Then follow the instructions under 'Show Manual Switch Instructions.' in the Flash App to put the device into bootloader mode.

Then run the command line tool again and you should see the new port that represents the AudioMoth.

You should then be able to read the serial number of the AudioMoth:

> flash.exe -i [PORT NAME]

The to upload the firmware:

> flash.exe -u [PORT NAME] [PATH_TO_FIRMWARE_FILE]

You can find the firmware file by 'Opening Downloads Folder' in the Flash App.

Peter will follow up with you to get the log file from the Flash App so we can understand why it isn't working on your setup.

Success, the last try seems to be the good one:

Thank you for your support!

Great. Peter will follow up so we can try to understand what went wrong. Serial on Linux seems to be less reliable than Windows and Mac for some reason. The normal communication with the device is USB HID which works really reliably on all platforms.

Hello,

So this morning I have this (screenshot):

It starts the flashing process but is stuck (as seen in the screenshot) for minutes and nothing happens...

I didn't try the command line version because I don't know in which state (usb, custom,etc.) I should put the audiomoth in before running the commands.
