Ultrasonic microphone support/request

[Scott_Guthrie (Gu3)]

Any merits to this idea?

Plants emit informative airborne sounds under stress

Is there any way to support to listening into my plants conversations? I wanna hear the smack they’re talking about me… and maybe water them…

Maybe add a translate feature… just be the plant screaming.
I pick this one if its not copywritten…

I’m also interested in this. Did you get anywhere with the idea? I’ve been reading about the Knowles Utrasonic Mic SPU0410LR5H-QB and DIY bat detector circuits, but I haven’t started building anything yet. I think the mic they used in that research was 5000 euros if I’m not mistaken, and that’s a bit out of my budget!

I have a Pettersson M500 ultrasonic USB microphone, which I believe I purchased for a few hundred USD, several years ago for bat research, that I can see if I can get recording under linux/Mycodo. It measures 10 - 210 kHz.

They claim it works with Linux, so that’s a good sign.
