Aye,... but your pun is wasted because Teddy Ruxpin is not a bear. It's mentioned quite a few times throughout his adventures. He's an illiop, an imaginary primate in Ken Forrse's extended universe that only happens to resemble a bear.

*The Greatest* fun as in, "Bazinga"? LOL

I know it's been done to death but here's my two cents. I'd love to see this done to a furbie. I think it would be hilarious to see and more fun to watch someone build.

You should make a smart mirror with some plexiglass and a Pi Plexiglass is a mirror, when no light is on the other side, so you can make a display show all black except for the stuff you want to see

Thank you. Thank you so much. You have shaped me into the person I am today. I first watched your "how to make a website" video years back, and that video alone is what sparked my now immense interest in computers. It's amazing how much an impact a single person can make, and I can't imagine the ways I would be different if it weren't for your video. Once again, thank you, and I appreciate everything you have done.

Dude this is absolutely incredible... Teddy Ruxpin was my best friend when I was a toddler, this is one of the coolest throwbacks I didn’t think I’d find ha ha you rock man

This is the first time I've seen your channel. I came here for teddy ruxbin, but see that your knowledge of electronics might be something I'm interested in. I'm now a subscriber.

I'd make the Teddy Ruxpin have a *_3D_* camera and some machinery for the legs, and use a VR headset and a controller to make the Teddy walk around. Also have it repeat whatever sound is fed to the mic?

That's on a whole new level of dopeness!! Nice work! thanks for informative hack!

Would be pretty cool to see more animatronics or robotics

im glad you read my comment on last video and use a rpi :D they are great for ai and automation :d will you add a cam so it can do face recognition?

Cool! my dad is doing this sort of thing with our 80s arcade machine. It didn't work but he fixed it (everything works except the speakers) and he says he's going to put a raspberry pi into it and make it better and he's going to fix the speakers by finding new ones and removing the old ones. I'm really exited to play with it when he is all done! 😃

This is way cooler than the Chippy Ruxpin Project. I'm glad I dragged my ass on hacking my teddy with a dead tape player. I have a grubby grubby too,... so If this works than I'll try that too if I can somehow manage to get components to fit in it.

dude you crazy? this is awesome! so creative and useful!

this project is very very cool!!

Prepare that thing to attach it to a friends toilett, as soon as they go and sit down, have it flush, close the lid and make a horn sound!

OMG that's so cool!

Pretty cool

Could you do a video... like where you make an attachable accessory(pi with Alexa) which can make anything artificially intelligent!! For example a sticky magnet for a refrigerator which can answer all your cooking doubts(I guess you get what I am saying .. right!) That would really be exciting!!

i like the crazy collar.

I love this so much

so you chose amp modulated... great job

Hey Tinkernut! I think you should use the github.com/alexa-pi/alexapi for the alexa client. The other fork is not updated anymore and has been consolidated into this one. (this one gets updated a lot more frequently...)

@Tinkernut

7 жыл бұрын

I agree. I had initially used the other one because I had my own fork of it where I edited the original code and added my own custom code. I ended up not using it for this project, but sadly I didn't update my references.

Total genius.

as if Ruxpin couldnt get sny more terrifying

"Crazy Collar": You can be a bird drawing a predator away with the broken wing ruse. OR The dead RadRoach corpse pose of Fallout games. Dying RadRoaches have the presence of mind to stick out a wing when they are meeting their demise. "I am dead, stop firing on my remains."

Someone should make a Alexa talking mounted deer head would really be good and talking about freaking people out

You could use a motion sensor instead of a button to trigger Alexa. Then, by controlling the eyes of the Teddy bear, you could make the eyes open when the bear sees you!

Hey TINKERNUT... it's been a while now... you haven't mentioned me in your COMMENTS SHOW!! It's about time that YOU Dedicate at LEAST 5 seconds of your video for ME!!.. Just kidding.. great video man.. Proud of you!!

+Tinkernut can you rig a mini copter drone with a lazer that points down and then program it to hover at a predetermined distance off the ground?

Could this be modified to someone act like a Bluetooth speaker and or a Bluetooth hands-free device? How hilarious it would be to sit at Starbucks and have a conversation through this. Imagine people who saw and paid attention. They wouldn't know what to truly think.

Don't use a full arduino for that. Arduinos only make good prototypes. Use an atmega or even an attiny for that. They are only a dollar each.

Nice work on your first animatronics. Really enjoyed it! Didn't see Teddy's eyes move though? Next project: With it being near Christmas, a lot of people have purchased the simple laser light projectors (approx $40h you connect power to and it rotates a simple selection of programmed projections onto the front of your house at night. Could you please show us how we might hack the inboard set of display projections to something we might input ourselves?

now you only need to add red leds in the eyes of the TEDDY-900 and skynet will be up and running

Nice video.

You should make a phillips hue bluetooth light bulb using led lights and a arduino/rasberry pie

next project animatronic glitchpin

Damn Macgyver

I wish I had gotten a TEDDY FUCKING RUXPIN

nice video

I need to do this to my casettape Big Bird! Yep, that just dated me. That toy came out in 1986.

now if you could just change Alexa's name to Teddy Ruxpin. That would be great!

you should try making it a robot bank, by making a encrypted wallet, now you have a alexa ruxpin bank

Nice

The original code has an LED notified that let's you know when it is and isn't listening. It should be simple enough to modify it so that it plays a tone instead.

can you plan on making a raspberry pi into an outernet receiver

This was a continuation of my previous video where I hacked a Teddy Ruxpin. So put those together and you have a project where you automate a toy to talk in response to audio. Animatronics, according to wikipedia, is bringing lifelike characteristics to an otherwise inanimate object, so I think it fits the bill.

@patrickboots7799

7 жыл бұрын

Unless you are doing beginner animatronics like Axtell Puppets or this Teddy, "automated" mouth movement isn't really good. If you want full-size ones like Disney or The Rock-afire Explosion style then pre-programmed skits or live feedback from key-presses are better. For these you'll need an animatronics controller..there is a lot of folks out there who make those. Animatronics is a really fun skill once you get to know it!!

What code are you using to convert the analog to digital?

I would rather have the robo as my "mini-google"!
