*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

If you look at the bottom right when you are measuring the period you can see the frequency is shown.

Think its possible to tear one of these apart to put in a custom housing? Or would it make more sense to just start from scratch with a raspberry pi?

Great breakdown!! Are there any example i can make the UART decoder using an Arduino rather than buying some expensive hardware?

hello, congratulations on the work, I have a doubt .... I have an echo dot clock and the dsn has been disabled by amazon. reason? I requested a guarantee. then the question comes ... would you enter your setup and have it re-registered on dsn? thankful.

I am wanting to mod my Echo so that the LEDs stay on full brightness and do not dim. I am looking for the datasheet for the light sensor, do you happen to know the part number? Mine is a gen5 and it looks like the light sensors are different, but info on the gen3 would help.

I understand you don't care but you still want to be able to put it back together... right? to get the ribbon cable out, lift up the black tab running across the top. of the connector. It's a tiny hinge that holds the cable down. it snaps right back into place

I get the feeling that there's two, possibly three UARTs at play. One of the last messages is that one is being disabled (uart0), and another enabled (ttyMT0). Also the BAUD rate is 921,600. It's specified in the kernel boot parameters along with a reference to a 'uart1', and in one other message. The message "[TOOL] USB enum timeout!" indicates that it's looking for a USB OTG peripheral, probably their Ethernet dongle.

The tag is a NFC tag. Try it out. It connects the Device via Bluetooth.
@playaspec4 жыл бұрын
I knew it! They also use it in Amazon's shipping center. As they pull a box off the shelf, the tag gets read and associates it with your account. Every Firestick I installed automatically knew it was mine.

@@playaspec fun fact only related due to the NFC tag topic lol.... But Victoria's Secret bras or at least the PINK brand of VS bras (I'll assume all of them from VS but don't know for certain) each have one of those NFC tags woven into the bra tags with the size of bra and washing instructions. For inventory reasons and warehouse storage is what I have learned anyways. Kinda cool though to know. 🤓
