Toy Hacker: Reviving A Dead Teddy Ruxpin
Ғылым және технология
Teddy Ruxpin was an endearing, yet creepy, robotic toy from the 1980's. After receiving a broken one, I decided to take it apart, upgrade it and make it live again! Now I can make it say whatever I want!!!! Almost....

Wait, Teddy Ruxpin is not JUST for heavy metal tapes?

Thumbs up! I just saw your channel and fell in love with it. I love Tedy Ruxpin, he is my favorite. Obviously I just had to subscribe, its an honor to be part of your channel. God bless you for reviving Teddy Ruxpin.
I dunno why, but I for one find it so satisfying when I or others take old technology and upgrade the parts to make it work as good as or better than new. The new servo motors in this is what reminded me.
Thank you :) I have my 80s teddy stored. Doesn't work anymore and thought it would be fun to get him to work again. I have one take left from my childhood :)
Finally a flawlessly made instruction video. Excellent job tysm
this is actually a really cool project!
I love what you do I think your style of the video and stuff is totally awesome
Well done. Looking forward to see how you are going to make it talk.
Looking forward to the follow-up video for this! I too didn't have a Ruxpin :(
Nice video man pls do more!
Man this is so cool!
"...make the Teddy Ruxpin do what you want". You're gonna have all variety of animated-toy protection agencies pounding down your door. Or, Paramount pictures will get wind of this and produce "Toy Of Frankenstein".
So in order for this to work, did you replace the motors? because how does it work with the 5 wire ones?
OMG I subscribed to tinkering channel and now I am watching teddy bears!!!!

I think amazon has put some limitations on that, you can't make it voice activated and you can do some features like music.

there are some python libraries that bypass those limitations. search for alexapi on github
Sir, you’re truly a mad scientist
I was watching this trying to figure out how to animate some dolls I'm trying to make for a huge project next year so I just looked at the very toy that started it all for me mr. Theodore Ruxpin when you add the Alexa devices can you also customize their voices as well just wondering?
Make Teddy Ruxpin say "If I slice of some of the skin on your cheekbone and fry it, I bet it tastes like pork rinds!...little Timmy." Sinister voice at the end of course. :)
you're videos are so much better than kipkays! I wonder why you don't have as many subscribers.
You can use PC or Rasberry Pi and a camera to track your face, and then send instructions for the servos. You could even add two side voice comminication.

When I tried to take our original one (1985) apart to work on, the brown plastic was very brittle. Yes, I was careful as I’ve “tinkered” on fixing other stuff all my life. Oh well. I could’nt have done the ardino and code thing anyway.
I'm probably going to sound like a noob saying this, but I wonder if there is a way to change how the mouth moves based upon the amplitude of sound going through. I'd imagine it would possibly make the mouth movements look more realistic.

at chip.hackster.io/chip/c-h-i-p-py-ruxpin-5f02f1?ref=platform&ref_id=5276_trending___&offset=4 they used espeak to do just that.
what if ur teddy already works.. can i still use the old servos?
great idea to revive an old teddy, but you're a monster if you use it for unintended purposes other than what it was made to do.
This is awesome!!!! The project page seems to have bit rotted a bit, any fixes there would be greatly appreciated! (Would love to know parts and code)
nice Video
Rockin!
Do you have a repair manual for Teddy Ruxpin?
I’m curious to know if you take on work as I have a Teddy Ruxpin that I would be interested in sending you. And I would like it to say a few things as an addition to my toy room. Do you do that kind of thing and how much would you charge?
I would do this on a Spiderman toy, and make it say spooderman quotes. Possibly even make it sing the spooderman theme song, and replace the head with spoodermans
Why are you bringing the devil back, You've made nostalgia critic suffered enough
alice cooper tapes seemed to make teddy ruxpin "talk" just fine.

Hi Tinkernut! Can you do a tutorial on Thunkable! It is a more modern version of MIT App inventor and is really cool! Thnx
4:43 Ruxpin, What's the weather like today?
Wow their are different versions of this terrifying thing?
damn man you are crazy...but you are awesome too😂😂
good to see you using linux on your hp stream :))
Didn't get a thing, but still liked it...😅
0:15 Take a look back into your childhood. (shows image of the 2012 furby)
You know when he means he will make it say whatever he wants? Well it won't be in the real "ruxpin" voice. The original voice was prerecorded. So don't get your hopes up. Of course, I may be wrong but who knows
I would put in a random selector and have it pick a word once every 20-40 plays say it, and just continue on as normal.
Teddy should host the comments show.
For once I will do a serious comment: I would butcher an amazon echo dot, combine it with the arduino, add a good speaker, stick it all into the bear, and say "alexa play my Wu-Tang Clan playlist". Because WU-TANG-CLAN AINT NOTHING TO F### WITH.

NO NO NO, WE MUST DO THE QUEEN PLAYLIST. I MUST HEAR THE ANGELIC VOCALS OF FREDDIE MERCURY COME FROM TEDDY RUXPIN
I would love to see u bring a zombie back to life!!... We can TWEAK their code and make a gigantic army of umm... undead guys... who are..... living( I suppose 😐)!! We can RULE THE WORLD TOGETHER TINKERNUT , I will be Johanne Schmidt,.. and u will be Arnim Zola(woah.. Captain America Reference!!)👻💀💀👻😈😈😈😈💀👻(dramatic sound)... Well thats my idea for the next video
Hey could you do one up for me that will speak its normal voice then all of sudden its eyes go red and turns possessed. With a demon voice.? Please get back to me. Im serious. Im big into Halloween. Wish I still had my old one.
Will you do a amplitude modulated sound converter? or a text to gesture converter? Either way... TALKING TEDDY
hi great job!!! would you please make internet controlled rc car having camera on it?
I am so scared right now...
dude there is a new teddy ruxpin coming out on the market lol
we have the technology to rebuild this bear.
you could put a mode so it repeats what you say (with a mic) using a voice changer :P
Translated in Dutch Teddy Ruxpin is pronounced as Teddy Jerk off spider, which boggled my mind. Even as an eight year old kid.
Hmm... The code is called "alexa_ruxpin01_alt" Alexa... I wonder what next part will be about

oh my
I just revived my untested teddy Tuxpin and grubby in the mail this morning and thats how I ended up here but I'm a simpleton when it comes to computers so watching this has made me so sad but lucky I have computer savvy friend *fist pumps* so it's not a complete fail, hopefully I can report back with to alive creatures
Teddy repair I watched you remove the back by removing 2 screws and yours came out easy. What I am missing? Two screws are out but it will not budge Thanks
I have two brand new ones. And other old toys I found during junk removal
At least he doesn't try to do a What's Inside? video.
Arggg, you mean and deceiving villain. You left us hanging. Oh well, MAYBE I'll come back to watch Teddy talk and (knowing your feelings against the poor teddy) scare more children. Just kidding. I have one and luckily it still works if I could just find those darn tapes.
Make a magnetic door lock!
make an IA that can talk to you that would be awesome
Teddy Ruxpin flamethrower?
i love teddy
I'm a kid and I really want a tedy ruxbin
I suggest removing the extra sketch lines at 4:13. They detract from the drawing and make it more confusing to look at.

The ones I link to on the project page won't have the extra lines.
you should do a video on: how to transmit analog tv signal using raspberry pi's RX gpio pins
I could see this getting like a million views if it was Freddy Fazbear
my teddy ruxpin has a metal backing IT WORKED WHEN I GOT IT and it was not expensive it was like new and the price was 20 bucks
Critic I remember!

I'M 72 and just brought one to resale, it does not work, after seeing this video I think I will just list it as is.
You airhead! You could have just made a custom tape and itd work fine
why not get a new "Cozmo" ? i would love to see how you would revere engineer it and perhaps even make a 3D printed version using only components "standard components" to maybe build your own????????? Nah to complicated....
