I am trying to find out if this is even possible. Been watching Ben Heck talk about how great this community is for over a year now and thought it would be a great place to find an answer.
I am working on a raspberry pi project where I will make an Echo Dot controllable via voice chat in a Discord server.
The jist of it is that I want to do is connect the audio out from the raspberry pi to the microphone connection on the Echo Dot in the place of a surface mount mic.
From there I will connect the audio out from the dot back into the pi, but that will be simple seeing as how there is already an audio out on the dot.
My question is: Would it even be possible to run that 3.5mm audio signal into a surface mount input.
It makes sense in my head that if I make the output mono I should be able to use either the L or R connection coming from the 3.5mm into the input mount for the mic. But before I go and destroy a $50 Dot I just wanted to know if it is theoretically possible or if I'm wasting my time.
Thanks much for any information you can give!
