This repository allows you to control a Furby Connect BLE with an Arduino Uno Wifi 2

Title: FurbyHack

Author: Constantin Scholz IMEC & VUB BruBotics

Email: constantin.scholz@imec.be | constantin.florian.scholz@vub.be

Code Purpose: This code allows to hack into a Furby Connect Bluetooth Low Energy and control its behaviour.

References: The code is inspired by the GitHub repository BlueFluff also I am using the Arduino Bluetooth Low Energy Library

Hardware: ARDUINO UNO WiFi REV2 Furby Connect BLE

---

Getting started:

1. Install the Arduino IDE.
2. Connect to your ARDUINO UNO WiFi REV2 board. Upload the FurbyHackCode script to the Arduino.
3. Open the serial monitor of the Arduino IDE.
4. Power on the Furby.
5. The code will automatically stay connected with the Furby and ensures it stays quiet.
6. You can now send commands to the Furby. Sending the character 'b' will change the antenna to blue.
7. If you want to disconnect to the Furby send the character 'd'.

Example Video

I am demonstrating how to run a few action commands, change the antenna colour and also disconnect from the Furby. See the video below.
