Configure your pippyg bat / bird recorder
This tool gives you a convenient and reliable method to set the real-time clock, device ID, deployment latitude and longitude, and wake and sleep times for the PIPPYG bat recorder and π•pistrelle bat detector, in the field, using just your phone and the onboard microphone.
To use the app, set up the configuration you want in terms of Device ID and sleep/wake times, then place your phone's speaker near your pippyg / π•pistrelle's microphone, and press the Configure / Deploy. The pippyg red LED will flash at least once when the device hears the chirp. If the LED flashes just once, you need to try again, and try changing the phone colume and the distance from the microphone. If the LED flashes 4 or 5 times, you have successfully programmed your device, and it will enter a wake/sleep cycle, recording bats (or birds) when it is awake.
