I'd like to extend a hearty welcome to the latest addition to the ReignDesign crew. Say hello to Nabby! Nabby is a Nabaztag, a hackable robotic rabbit. She comes equiped with an audio system, 5 powerful LED lights, and a set of moving ears. Not to mention a dead-simple web API to interact with her. Did your last hire have all that?
To make it easier to interact with her, we whipped up a little javascript wrapper to cover all the API methods. Now its dead simple to make nabby dance anyway you'd like. Here's a couple simple examples:
var nabby = nabaztag(sn, token);//sn and token are given when you buy a rabbit nabby.speakEnglish("Hello");//nabby can speak multiple languages nabby.speakChinese("你好"); nabby.audio("http://213.205.96.91:9915");//or can play internet radio for you //but seriously, what good is a team member if they can't get down nabby.dance().leftEar("75","1").go();//move the ears nabby.dance().topLED("FF0000").go();//flash the top LED's red (that's a hex value) //how about something a little more complex - chain it up nabby.dance().bothEars("125","1").centerLED("00FF00").wait(10).bothEars("25","0").go(); //chain them all together nabby.dance().speakEnglish("Time to party!") .bothEars("25","0") .wait("15") .allLED("00FF00") .bothEars("90","1") .wait("10") .bothEars("35","0").go();
Can I get the source already? Sure! Its right here.
Let me know what you think in the comments - API changes/additions or if you found a bug.
Like the rest of the RD crew, she's a little quirky but we like that 
Happy hacking!
