Furby Bounty Paid

I agree with you - not everybody is a assembly code wizzard.
We're working on releasing FurbOS 0.1 in the next little while. It's sort of extended power-on self test code - think of it as libc for a Hurby ( Hacked Furby).
Thinking long term, Andy and I want to get a simple interpreter running on the processor - something like Logo-language - very very simple. That way Joe guy can make it do something without too much software suffering. We'll see....
I was just shifting through the junk flyers
in my snail mail. Toy R Us are selling the Furry
little buggers for $10 Canadian - that about
$6.70 US dollars. Talk about cheap.
Something else that is floating around on my
work bench is a Furby chariot. Two servo wheels and some Ir object sensors controlled via the
RS-232 3.5mm jack on the back off the Furby's head.
....but right now I'm spending my spare time keeping up with orders for the upgrade kit and keeping FurbOS 0.1 development on track.

If anyone is actually crazy enough to attempt this
I'd like to hear from them.
IrObex and IrLMP is on the list of goodies to be developed.
Hhhmmmm..... which one will be beat up next?
Hard to say - the programmable Billy Bass sounds
interesting. Maybe one of the interactive dogs?
If there's a big hit - I'll probably hack the hardware.
Right now I'm just trying to keep ahead of orders
for the upgrade kit and keep the development of
FurbOS 0.1 on track.
