Great. We'll see if the same happens to anyone else and try to figure out what might have conflicted with it. The first group purchase coordinated by ZSL will open on 1st September so keep an eye out here for details and also on the WILDLABS.NET forum - https://www.wildlabs.net/community/thread/364. We're hoping to have a housing available by then as well.
I have installed the app onto another laptop and it works OK so there must be something conflicting on my other laptop, many thanks for your help, please can you let me know when purchases are available.
You can plug in the USB at any time either before or after changing the settings. As soon as the device is plugged in though you should see the time update (change from grey to black) and start counting up every second. If the time display is still greyed out, that is why it isn't letting you push the configure button. With the app closed, try plugging in the device. Does the green LED come on? Check that Windows hasn't popped up a window and is looking for a driver before it will allow you to use the device.
I am using windows 10 and the switch is set to usb, using the app I set the start time, finish time, sample rate and gain, pulse and duration, then plug in the usb, if I am understanding correctly the time should now set, this dose not happen and when I place the cursor over the Configure Audiomoth I get a no entry sign.
Here's a screen shot. It will also read the ID of the device and show the battery state. This one has no batteries inserted and is being powered by the USB cable.
As a follow-up, can you see the time on the device changing when you connect it to the USB cable with the app open? The time should initially be greyed out and reading 00:00:00 01/01/1970. As soon as the AudioMoth is plugged in it will update to whatever the AudioMoth initially thinks the time is and the text will turn black. The initial time will be the number of seconds it has been powered up, and you should see this changing every second.
That's strange, we checked them all before shipping. Can you describe what happens. Is the switch in the USB position? Are you using the AudioMoth Configuration App? Which OS are you using?

Hi Alex,
I have installed the app onto another laptop and it works OK so there must be something conflicting on my other laptop, many thanks for your help, please can you let me know when purchases are available.
Regards Pete.
Yes, just sent you an email.
OK I will try this when I get home lunch time and get back to you, is there a phone number that I can reach you on.
Regards Pete
