Product Information

While they removed the external USB connector, the traces for it are still on the board waiting to be accessed. I did a teardown on a broken 2nd gen Echo dot a while back out of curiosity, and I don’t remember really see anything in the echo that would warranty high value caps to lead to this – It had an array of 6 surface mounted mics spaced equidistantly around its periphery (each of which has holes through the device) so doubt it needs much else for doing its direction sensing, etc along with voice detection. If you really want a “cover your ears” feature I would suggest doing something more direct than setting some pin high. Similarly, i bought both her and my grandpa kindles the best part of a decade ago when their eyesight began to get steadily worse.

does the device support 20v or is it going to fry when it’s circuitry that expects 5v encounters 20v? People are lazy and would often rather spend unneeded money on parts that have simply suffered the effects of our handling or mishandling. and of course the way young adults “unplug” their phones by jerking at the cable or bending the connector. It was covered in the previous teardown, but there’s a physical chip that cuts power to the microphones (or at least, the ADCs) when it gets the signal.Earlier models of the Dot used a garden variety micro USB port for power, which hackers eventually figured out also provided a helpful way to snoop around inside the device’s firmware. Having lost zero devices to bad USB-A/Mini-B devices to bad ports, but countless cables, I see the trade-off differently. after throwing away the *th micro usb cable this month because it would not charge my phone anymore, i completely understand the switch to barrel jack. I haven’t run across many discarded usb cables that couldn’t have their fault corrected inside of five minutes.

Once had a handheld 2M radio, and a packet TNC, with identical barrel jacks, except that one was *negative* centre pin. She’s in her mid-90s and partially sighted, plus the obvious mobility/dexterity issues of old age; so its a pretty ideal solution. Got to agree it seems pretty unlikely – i’ve built a few audio projects over the years, and generally found that microphonics only occur with med-high capacitance ceramic types (when tantalum caps are often a better fit). Wild speculation: the ‘cover ears’ test point is in the same signal path as the physical mute button.He’s mapped out many of the test points located throughout the device’s PCBs, and found a few interesting points that might be worth further investigation. Brian] found that the Dot shows up as a Mediatek device under Linux using lsusb, and fastboot can see it and even confirms the presence of a locked bootloader. With Micro-B, the springs were moved to the far less expensive and far more easily replacable cable. That won’t work because it’s likely that they’re also using “microphonics” effect of ceramic capacitors.
