AudioMoth Flashing Instructions
If you received an AudioMoth from the Eclipse Soundscapes team or one of our partners, you do NOT need to flash your AudioMoth. Your AudioMoth was already flashed with the necessary firmware by the ES team. This step is only for ES participants who purchased their own AudioMoth.
AudioMoth devices need to have the most recent firmware update in order to properly set the AudioMoth’s clock with the Time Chime. This page explains how to download the most recent firmware.
Step 1: Download the AudioMoth Flash Application
Visit https://www.openacousticdevices.info/applications to download the “AudioMoth Flash App.” The Flash app is the second app on the webpage.
Step 2: Follow your computer's instructions to install the application.
Step 3: Open the AudioMoth Flash Application
Step 4: Select firmware version 1.8.1 in the menu on the right and click on the download button.
Step 5: Move AudioMoth Switch to USB/Off & Connect AudioMoth via USB micro-b cable to your computer
You can connect the AudioMoth with or without batteries. When connected, light on AudioMoth should be a solid green.
Step 6: Click the "Flash AudioMoth" button
The button will become clickable when the AudioMoth is connected to your computer. The text above the green “Flash AudioMoth” button will also change from “No AudioMoth found” to “Found an AudioMoth…”
