      So after I gave up on using the Google AIY kit, I’ve ordered a usb soundcard, speakers and an amplifier for the mirror, and I’ve gotten them mounted.
      I’ve searched banggood for a proper microphone to connect to the soundcard, but I’m having some problems in finding a good solution for it, do you have any recommandations?

          @sdetweil Ok, so any cheap lavalier microphone, would be great to have something that was mounted in the frame, I know, details, details, details, but as I’m already on the edge of waf, it needs to be well designed :-D

            If you are of ok with basic soldering, you can follow this steps.
            The cost of such very sensitive mic will be 2$.

            I have made this mic myself and its sensitivity is very high.
            Mic is located behind the glass and sensitivity level set to 5%.
            With this set-up, I can speak normally 1.5-2.5 meters in front of the glass and mic+Raspberry recognizes what I am saying well.

                Hello,
                I’m using the Sony PS3 eye. As there are 4 microphones inside the webcam, it allows me to speak to the assistant at more than 4 meters in my living room despite the ambient sounds (TV, music …)
                Regards,
