My AudioMoth has arrived and had a night of recording. I have no idea now how to download the files. The PC seems to recognise the device but I cannot find it as a device in an explorer window or anywhere else. The AudioMoth software only deals with configuration. Can anyone advise me please?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the message. The only way to transfer files to your PC is inserting the microSD into you PC using a microSD card reader. The microSD card reader usually comes packaged with the purchased microSD card. If it didn't, they can be acquired from most shops. Here is an example of one from amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memwah-Micro-SD-Card-Reader/dp/B00FXGP3FS?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_10
Let us know if you need anymore help.
Thanks,

Thanks Andy, that makes full sense.

hmm - just wondering if there might be a way to hack in a way to programmatically download files ... I want to set up a pipeline and just leave it on in my backyard, and systematically pump the WAV files into things through Raven or Arbimon ...
Wondering if the main loop might get hacked to check a config register, and if set, perhaps attempt to contact the USB, somewhere around:

Has anybody tried to use Wifi enabled SD Card with AudioMoth for reading files remotely? I mean something like listed on https://www.hereon.biz/wifi-sd/#Toshiba_FlashAir_4th_Generation_8211_Best-selling_Wi-fi_SD_card . Connecting that to Micro SD slot you would need an adapter like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33054018395.html . This could be ideal when you would like to have e.g. daily access to the files - of course you would need a connecting device there.
