Of course some people really wanted to teach it to say new things, and figured out how to swap out the audio files (among other modifications): https://github.com/Jeija/bluefluff

Fun fact: If you mess up and need to reset the furby, the procedure is to turn it upside down and hold down the tongue while pulling the tail for ten seconds.

Instructions unclear. Toddler still not speaking clearly, but appears upset.

Repeat until it works, or discard and produce another.

> What I have achieved so far

> • Understand large parts of Furby's BLE communication protocol

> • Open a secret debug menu in Furby's LCD eyes

Then I looked at the project logo again and it spooked me out

Note that this works for Furby Connect, original Furby had IrDA only.
