AudioMoth users, I recently wrote this guide to operating and deploying AudioMoths: https://github.com/rhine3/audiomoth-guide/blob/master/guide.md.
The guide describes the basics of using AudioMoths; how to avoid and troubleshoot common problems; and practical considerations for large-scale deployments. We (the Kitzes Lab at the University of Pittsburgh) have deployed several hundred AudioMoths in the past year, and this is my attempt to summarize what we have learned.
Please take a look, share, and let me know what you think. I would be especially grateful for feedback, including your own experiences and tips, to make the guide as accessible and comprehensive as possible.

Hi Tessa,
This is fantastic, what an incredible resource. Thank you for taking the time to develop it and sharing it here.

Any real world experiance is helpful, thank you for sharing yours. Also there are two other guides available one by me and one by the AudioMoth team, so between us we should cover a lot of ground - https://sites.google.com/view/audiomoth/home and https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/d97703_9ac305905bdd4cdfab6aee99767a56e6.pdf
I run my audiomoth at 384Kbps and with a class 10 U3 card can capture bats calling at 110KHz

Hi everyone.
Both of the user guides look amazing and have answered a lot of the questions I have about the Audio Moth. We have recently inherited a lot of forest and part of a mountain and are planning to do an audio survey to understand what kind of animals we have in there.
Regarding the user guides: Does it make sense to put together a community editable central document on something like Google Docs or github? The google site is amazing and I think having a single document where people can find all the known information and experience would be amazing. If this is something that people are interested in, I'm okay to take a stab at putting something together based on all the accumulated knowledge already posted by Tessa, David, and the AudioMoth team.

I wonder if a communial, searchable, WIKI might be a better platform?
