I'm giving Bubo-2T an upgrade - the Pimoroni Inventor Hat. This means I can link the facial animations to the camera image processing - result: It can turn the eyes pink when it detects a person, count down before taking a picture and chirp once the photo has been taken! Can't wait to show you this.
