Five years ago, I modified a 1998 Furby into a Jorge Luis Borges animatronic. At that time all Furby hacks butchered the original toy, so my approach was to leave intact all the parts and electronics hijacking the audio. That “zen” hack had limitations: speech sync was far from perfect and the 20 year old toy not always worked as expected, so Furby Borges was asking for a reborn...
In this version an Arduino Nano controls Furby motor through a HW094 motor driver. It also controls a DfPlayer Mini. I wrote a routine to sync the mouth and speech and also to control some postures.
