AudioMoth 1.2 are now available on GroupGets! @groupgetscom https://t.co/J7N7wT9q7v

@tactiZity_ The geophone needs an additional small amplifier before the AudioMoth input. We'll be publishing the circuit in a write-up of the project.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

We are experimenting with connecting other sensors to AudioMoth to detect elephants. Two promising solutions are an SM-24 geophone and a buried piezo contact microphone. This is what they record when repeatedly dropping a bowling ball from a height of 1.5m at a distance of 100m.

The AudioMoth Configuration App version 1.12.1 is out now!

If you previously downgraded to 1.11.1, don't forget to update and regain access to the GPS synchronisation features.

@RinglerMax @and1hill @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo @WILDLABSNET Getting closer. The first production batch of cases has arrived but we're looking at an issue with the crimping of the connector. Hopefully, it will be resolved in a couple of weeks.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

Testing the latest AudioMoth infrasonic developments for the WILDLABS Awards 2024 with the elephants @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo today. For project updates check out @WILDLABSNET https://t.co/uWFWRtuc3b

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

We've discovered a bug in AudioMoth Configuration App 1.12.0. If you've updated to this version and plan to use the frequency trigger feature, we advise downgrading to version 1.11.1:

Everything else works as expected and we'll release a fix soon!

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

A new AudioMoth 1.2.0 group purchase has begun over at GroupGets! @groupgetscom https://t.co/J7N7wT8ShX

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

@Guy__Bennett @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo @WILDLABSNET The case is designed to take for the AudioMoth Dev but could possibly be used with the AudioMoth 1.2 PCB with some modification.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

@Guy__Bennett @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo @WILDLABSNET This is a Primo electret capsule with a custom mount that we'll hopefully be able to supply next year. An external microphone tends to be lower noise and also have better low-frequency response than the internal MEMS microphone.

@DocSlinky Thanks. It's always nice to get positive feedback.

We've released a new version of the AudioMoth Configuration App (1.12.0)!

This new version includes new GPS settings and a synchronisation tool. Update now, especially if you have an AudioMoth GPS Hat or GPS bundle!

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

@Guy__Bennett @Horsburgh2 @DurhamBirdClub Nice recording! You can also export videos directly from AudioMoth Play with the green camera icon.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

@TheTrueChazzyf @groupgetscom If the pin was in the wrong place then it must have been the wrong jack. The 3.5mm jacks supplied by @groupgetscom are the correct jack and will definitely fit. Other 3.5mm jacks, with different part numbers, are unlikely to fit or will have the wrong connections.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

If you already have an AudioMoth and want to get started with GPS synchronisation, then @groupgetscom have AudioMoth GPS Hats in stock again. https://t.co/XH96XlPKgx

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

@TheTrueChazzyf @groupgetscom Yes, the AudioMoth GPS Hat is soldered onto the GPIO pins on the top surface. If you also get a 3.5mm socket you will be able to use the AudioMoth with external electret microphones. https://t.co/86xvAdX58l

@RinglerMax @and1hill @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo @WILDLABSNET Apologies that these are taking so long! We've just finalised a revision to the clasp and are now progressing with the order of the first batch. We hope they'll be available for sale before the end of the year.

@parkan What sample rate is your AudioMoth USB Microphone configured to? The raw sample rate is always described in the device name and can be changed with the configuration app.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

If you are using the AudioMoth USB Microphone with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm you will need to change the PipeWire configuration to allow sample rates other than 48kHz. We've added instructions in the AudioMoth-Live GitHub repository. Older versions of the OS work fine.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

@parkan What application are you recording with? These changes seem to work with AudioMoth-Live. The other option is to switch back to PulseAudio in the configuration tools.

[Open Acoustic Devices @OpenAcoustics]

Two new group orders just opened at @groupgetscom! Order now to get an AudioMoth 1.2 or the AudioMoth Dev + GPS Bundle with immediate shipping!
