Furby Electron Application

Furby electron

This app is meant to communicate with a Furby connect. By default, this works great with https://github.com/tclem/atom-furby. Install the Atom plugin, and run this application and you'll see a small menubar application. As you work your Furby connect should pair with you.

Wait, I don't have a furby!

Luckily you can still try it out: if no Furby is connected it uses the say command locally.

But you should really get a Hasbro Furby Connect!

NOTE: Furbies need 4 AA batteries or you'll want to hack in USB power

Developing

Clone the repo and run:

npm install
npm start

NOTE: Node 8 seems to work best for the bluetooth drivers (brew install node@8 on macOS).

That annoying warning while developing

sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add $(pwd)/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app

Thanks

Much of the code (fluffcon, fluffaction and some of the server patterns) come directly from https://github.com/Jeija/bluefluff
