Hi Gokul,

Raspberry Pi not come with the option to connect a microphone. You have two options:

1.- Buy one microphone and connect the cables to our Compatible Arduino Qboard.

2.- Buy a compatible audio board for Rpi3 that includes Speaker & Microphone option. There a lot into the market.

Hi Team Qbo,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to connect the usb microphone with the raspberry pi, I changed "convertQBO" in audacity to receive the sound. I was also able to here the sound by changing the speaker to my usb speaker. Then how can I change the to the usb mic input as Q.bo's voice input? Which file need to change?

You are welcome. Please, locate this command:

"HeadServo..SendCmdQBO(Command(self. SET_ADC_REF , reference)"

Hi Gokul,

you can find all about Mics in QBO_PiFace.py

Remember!, this file requires PyAudio because it uses the Microphone class.

What are you planning on using a microphone for?
The piezo element in your first link is generally used as a speaker or noise buzzer/ tone generator. However It is possible to use the piezo as a sensor to detect noises such as knocking or banging (drum pad ) etc. In either case the piezo would require external circuits. The noise sensor would need an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) to make it work.
