I’m one of several thousand people left with a deceased Nabaztag, or even worse, the newer Karotz, after the respective servers were turned off.

Help was at hand, sadly not for Karotz owners, when someone kindly developed a Raspberry Pi solution; in effect, a Nabaztag can run as intended from such a device. I tried it, with success. Until my cheap eBay phone charger, that is. Said device exploded, as mentioned at the time, leaving me with a dead Pi and, discovered several hours later, a very dead TV.

Anyway, while on my way to work this morning, I came across a blog which appears to have a Nabaztag\Raspberry Pi\Apple vintage focus.

Notice the header? Although the Nabaztag has been deceased for some time now, this blog still uses it in both name and graphic.

Better still,the author has attempted to integrate a Raspberry Pi within a Nabaztag II. OK, so it may not have worked, but it makes one wonder if there’s a less ambitious way to achieve the result. Unfortunately, my French isn’t great, so I’m not 100â„… certain what went wrong. I shall investigate.
