Hi! I'm new to Moths but have done several read-throughs of the user guide. I am trying to configure 6 Hydromoths (brand new, firmware version 1.9.2) to have identical settings. I created a .config file with the settings I would like to use. When I plug in a HydroMoth and open the Configuration App, I thought the process for establishing the correct configuration was to do File > Open Configuration > select configuration of interest. Then, I click the "Configure AudioMoth" button at the bottom of the app. This changes the settings to be how I would like them. But when I then quit the app, eject the AudioMoth, re-connect it, and look at the Configuration App, the settings are back to what I think are defaults - not to what I have in the configuration file. I can't figure out where I'm going wrong and would be very grateful for any feedback! Everything I've done so far has been with the switch on the Moth set to "USB/OFF".
Thank you for your time!
Hi Taylor, The configuration that you see in the Config App is the configuration that will be set. It does not read back the configuration from the AudioMoth as this makes it difficult to configure multiple devices. You should set up the Config App to the configuration that you require, plug in each HydroMoth in turn, and press 'Configure AudioMoth' for each one. You don't need to make any changes to the Config App between devices. Whenever you switch to DEFAULT or CUSTOM. the AudioMoth will write a CONFIG.TXT file to the SD card summarising the configuration that is set. Alex
