It's pretty cool that one motor did everything. There are other toys like that, too. Those toy makers were under so much pressure to make the toys cheap as possible, and they got pretty creative. And then at some point went crazy probably.

Cody Cold you don't have to know how to work electronics. You just have to know how to surf KZread and EBay. KZread for the step-by-step tutorial and EBay for the spare parts. You can do the same with sewing and crafts. Never opened an Android before I cracked my S4 and ordered an EBay digitizer and followed instructions. Never made a plastic spoon flower til I saw it on Facebook and got a wild notion to do one just for kicks. LOL If you have the money to burn, more power to ya. But there is a certain satisfaction that comes with completing a project you do yourself.

That's actually pretty cool. Would be cooler if it still did furby stuff. Also, goddam those actuators are loud.

Love it. Greetings from Brandon FL! Thanks for posting. My furbies send their regards. Lol

The mouth being out of sync kinda bugs me, but still love it

I was looking specifically for this, and I found it, fantastic.

i love this so much this needs to be something that you can buy in stores

Oh my gosh!! This is so cool, you should sell it in the store!! I would love to have one of those if I could

I love Furbies. Now this I want! However, it would be cooler if the thing between it's eyes lit up when you asked it questions.

This was awesome! Subscribed!

Awesome!, But I hate you. I have been working on my own Pi-Zero + Furby +Digital assistant and learning electronics for months because I wanted to be the first to do this. Nothing Personal and this is awesome Buuuut I hate you for getting this done first!

That is so cool! I want one of those. That should be a real thing in stores. I would buy it.

My favorite part is the Furby burning to death in that fire pit.

This makes me wanna learn more about technology and electronics. I wanna mess around with that kind of stuff as well. All the possibilities 💲

It should have an alexa themed fur with an alexa symbol on the belly.

Alt title: a furby becomes big brain

This is honestly amazing! Having had a Furby as a young child, it'd be so cool to have one of these myself! One problem, I can't work with electronics ;-;.

i have a alexa in my room, the example at the beginning triggered it and started talking xD

cool project!

I want to build one of these I have a few furbies without a working speaker kicking around. Quick question is there anything you think should be done differently now days? Or new products such as better boards or other hardware that are better suited. Thanks for the help.

Really nice but for next time please turn of this darn anoying audio loop that is louder than everything else and makes it nearly impossible to focus on the furlexa voice...

i freaking love this!!

Definitely have it so the eyes open when it hears it's wake word and it listening and then it's mouth moves when it's speaking.

That’s freaking cool 😊

Someone's going market this watch..

I love it!! I want four!

good idea!!!

How awesome !

That's awesome!

Dude when you said what a furby is to furlexa my Alexa started telling me what one is lol

Absolute madman

I would have a furlexa. I could use it to creep my friends and family out.

My son loves Tattletale but didn't know what a Furby was. Been years since I saw one so was surfing and ended up here. 🤣🤣🤣 It really would be cooler if it had a more Furby sounding voice.

Now this is content.

I'm going to give this a go, jut ordered the Furby! Any new additions/modifications since first making this? Also, and words of advice on how I can make it extra creepy and adding an LED to each eye when Furby first wakes up or talks maybe?

Anyway the furbies motors and gears could be quieted down with newer quiet ones?

this is amazingly terrifying. this power is alot for 1 man to handle.

"Furby turn off the lights" "Okay, *insert your name here*" You see the lights flicker off instantly. You then hear a faint sound of gears turning mixed in with robotic laughter you can barely make out as you drift off into sleep.

You are my hero.

clever stuff.

Is there a way to do this with the newer furbies like the boom line? I want to make an Ai furby that can actually talk to you in a intelligent way?!

Is there a way to get the motor to link up with the voice control?

You just saved my sanity with shutting off Siri on my MacBook Pro... but this was effing hysterical!

What about transforming a Furby Boom into a Picroft Virtual Assistant? I'd like to do that the cheapest way possible, of course, using a Raspberry Pi the Picroft supports. Any of them.

Would you be able to take a Raspberry Pi and make a custom AI of your own using similar cues and programs to Alexa and Cortana

Hey thanks for this! I bet I can easily make a power bank mini backpack to take furlexa out drinking with me

I was six when I had a furby in 98, 99, and by chance my son saw Mitchell's vs Machines on Netflix and wanted a Furby for his 6th birthday. Got him the Furby boom, since I remember as a kid having my furby die. This Furlexa is such a cool idea, but it would be so cool if the voice was also in Furby voice.

Is there a way to customizing the voice? Or charge it !?

is it possible to take a transparent digital clock put alexa in it with jarvis voice and have a jarvis clock being displayed??????????

You should make the ears perk up when you say it's name so you know if it heard you

Nice 👏👏👏

But can you fix the lip syncing? Even if you have to use a newer Furby model?

Dr Blankenstein approves! Well done

Think you could upgrade everything else, like the motor and such so it can "talk" in a smoother without the annoying noise?

This is the kind of project I like. I think I'm going to make one and just get Alexa to play Thrash Metal on a loop.

I love it !!! Just wish that furby motor was not so loud lol it almost overpowers the voice

What version/model are you using? The one I just bought has completely different innards. Won’t fit a pi because of a big spring pylon smack in the middle.

Hello! I am so invested in making my own or buying one already made. Is there a step by step video on how to make one? or is an email address I can message you on to ask questions? thank you!
