Hi Alex,
I have to monitor bat activity in several pairs of high altitude alpine lakes (from 2000 to 2700 meters above sea level) using 8 Audiomoths per session. Given the study area, it would be very useful to generate a firmware that uses the CONFIG.TXT file previously copied to the SD card with the required schedule. The aim is to activate our Audiomoths in the field only with the chime.
I attach, in txt format, the ALP10SEC.config file created with the AudioMoth Configuration App. Obviously this firmware will no longer be configurable in the AM App Config.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Alex,
Can I just confirm. When you configer an AudioMoth using the ConfigurationAPP you are adding the config file to the device, or the SD card? I've always thought it was being written to the SD card, but if you swap SD cards out (regardless of battery) the config will persist?
Hi Paolo, The configuration on the AudioMoth is persistent - once configured it stays on the AudioMoth, even when the batteries are removed, until the AudioMoth is re-configured with the Config App. This means that you can configure them with the Config App in the normal way, transport them to the site without batteries, or change the batteries in the field, and then just set the time with the Chime App to resume recording. You don't need custom firmware for this. Alex
