Echo Buttons? #10

Open dwaq opened 6 years ago

dwaq commented 6 years ago

Echo Buttons are available now and I was curious if you wanted to work together on a similar repository for information about them. I have a set at home and plan on tearing them apart soon. I could order you a set if you're up for it.

I'm interested in that tear down, however, I don't think I'll have time for a collaboration on it. I don't like the physical button at all because of it's sheer size. I was more thinking about pivoting to using ESP32s with a lipo battery as "Dash Buttons"; as I feel this would be cheaper and easier.

If you open that thing and find an ESP32, then yes, I'm definitely on board 👍

Not an ESP32, but the IC does looks very interesting.

That does look interesting, did you identify the processor? Its serving as the radio, so it should be some really integrated thing. Is that a 6 pin jtag port on the second image?

The datasheet for the processor was linked in my last comment. It does appear to be a JTAG port. This post has more information: https://mpetroff.net/2017/12/amazon-echo-button-teardown/
