Edwin's notes from hacking a Playskool Alphie Robot

Alphie (2009) Hacking Notes

Note: I no longer have cards and didn't scan them. You're best bet is eBay, though it's quite expensive.

I want to make my own booster packs for Alphie, a children's learning toy, so I'm learning how he works internally so I can see if it's possible. It may be helpful for someone else down the line, but for right now it's just a lot of fun. Even if I don't get there, it's great practice of both documentation (which I'm terrible at writing) and reverse engineering.
