iBunny internals

Violet's servers seem to be back up, pretty much, and so our second company Nabaztag - the Nabaztag/tag - is up and running. This one is called ibunny28. Alas, there seems to be no RFID or microphone support yet, but the audio does seem to work better than on the old bunny. You can check out some of the internals here. Big architectural changes, including an ARM replacing the PIC of the original Nabaztag. It's complex in there - the number of custom plastic components is scary.

I think you need to get a few more of these and hack them to give finer-grain local control.

I'm envisaging a performing troop of bunnies with synchronised ear-wagging to music.

Q, it's been done! Although I'm sure that wasn't synchronised enough :) With working microphones, you could probably do something very nifty with these. I'm waiting for violet's servers to get up to speed - again - and will then see what the new bunny can really do. With the enhanced processor, it should be much more powerful than the old one.
