Description: # PyFurby
        Control a Raspberry Pi Zero enpowered furby via a served Jupyter notebook or via a restless API.
        
        The victim, looking scared...
        
        [![fear](images/fear.thumbnail.jpg)<br/>(click to enlarge)](images/fear.JPG)
        
        ## Module details and functionality
        
        See [API notes](API.md)
        
        The objective is to make the furby easy to control and customise.
        Say in a Furby served Jupyter notebook within the local network:
            
            from pyfurby import Furby
            furby = Furby()
            furby.wait_until_squeezed()
            furby.say('Get your filthy hands off me')
            furby.wait_until_moved()
            furby.say('Put me down you degenerate')
            
        It contains several methods, ranging from the comical
            
            furby.flutter() # it flutters its eyelids
            
        to the useful 
           
            furby.recite_ip()
            
        And can be set commands remotely:
        
            furby.restless()
            
        
        ## Background
        
        The idea and the majority of the setup came form [a blog post](https://howchoo.com/g/otewzwmwnzb/amazon-echo-furby-using-raspberry-pi-furlexa)
        However, there were lots of problems and differences.
        Namely
        
        * the code here is different
        * the components are squeezed in differently
        * gyroscope
        
        ## Project
        This project can be divided into:
        
        * [hardware](hardware.md)
        * [software](software.md)
        
        On the software side, I was disappointed that Alexa not on an Echo cannot play music.
        However, making it serve a jupyter notebook and having a nice API (`pyfurby`) mean that it's rather fun.
        As a result it is not a Furbexa, but a pyfurby. What do you reckon Furby?
        
            from pyfurby import Furby
            furby = Furby()
            furby.say('I rather have my fur back on, you creep!')
        
        In fact, I am going to find someone who can sew to make it a lab coat so it can give instructions at open days.
