I have an AM that seems not to be connecting to the app. With the switch at USB\off, on inserting the batteries, the LED will flash once then go off. If I put the sd card in first, then the same thing happens. If I switch to Custom, then the LEDs will flash but obviously I cant programme. The USB cables are good.
Is this a switch issue?
Great. Glad it's working now.
Hi, That sounds like a communication problem between the app and the device. The USB cable is fine if you managed to flash the new firmware. Did you need to use the paper-clip because the Flash App didn't recognise the device? If you start the Flash App with the AudioMoth in USB/OFF mode, does it find it and tell you the firmware version?

I have updated to version 1.4.4 on windows using the clip to make the connection. Then, when I want to configure recording time using the configuration app, the time doesn't apperar in black (it's not counting), despite the audiomoth is already connected. Any idea on how can I fix this?
There shouldn't be any problem. Can you confirm exactly what doesn't work. Have you used this USB cable with AudioMoth before?
I have updated to the latest version of AM on my Mac and now my computer isn't finding the AM. Any suggestions?
It's strange that the batteries affect this. It might be worth trying to reflash the firmware. That will confirm that USB communication and the processor are working properly. The instructions are here - https://www.openacousticdevices.info/flashing.
Hi Steve, Most USB communication problems turn out to be down to a USB charging cable being used that doesn't have any data lines inside it. You shouldn't need batteries or SD card to test the communication. Just put the AudioMoth switch into USB/OFF and plug the USB cable in. The Config App should automatically then connect to the AudioMoth and you'll see the current time on the device start to change - it will start at 00:00:00 1st Jan 1970. What operating system are you using? Alex
