If walmart puts this things on sale after Christmas I just may not be able to resist.

    ahem... Sorry I posted the link before I read the entire page. The guy has done a great hack but Santa's antics are a bit rude. Sorry about that.

    Those of us in the EFX group have recently purchased and started modifying (that's being done by my colleagues John and Ryan) a Buck "the singing deer" head. We gutted the original electronics and are doing motor control with a Prop-1 (BS1) controller, with audio coming from an AP-8. John is doing the programming, using a cool freeware program called Audacity to analyze the audio file to determine timing for the various motor control elements.
