Let's take a look at religious indoctrination. Teddy This is a little teddy bear that religious people can give to their children and encourages subservience to the Lord by singing them chewy songs. Let me give you an example. so you press this button.

Uh, other songs it's got are Jesus Loves Me and one that forces the children to read the Bible Indeed, So that's it. So I'm not really sure that there are certain ethics to this thing, but let's just get straight into it. Let's dig into his little butt here and try and get the voice box out and see what's the circuitry is in here. Can it be repurposed? Can it be reprogrammed into darker things? Hmm.

I Think this is this is kind of soon and I think they don't want you taking it out? Probably. so children don't eat it as sometimes happens apparently. Uh, if this is going to take a while to get out, yeah, it's tied in. There may be another reason for that, and it's just to stop people ripping it out so hard that it, oh, there's a thread.

Let's cut the thread that it rips all the connections out from the switches. which is to be fair, probably the main reason it's doing it. Me and Roth my brother where along the same lines, the happy, cheery music and fun things. We were kind of lured into a local church when we were young with the offer of candy and we accepted their offer of candy and what followed was a regular visits to this church thing called Sunshine Corner with other kids in the neighborhood that were kind of recruited as well.

Oh, here's a little wiring room. Here is a little wiring limb and as part of the as well as the Cheery anthems that we sang, we were rewarded with more candy and then uh, as if we memorized certain religious things, they gave us Toys as well cheap plastic toys that broke very quickly. Um, did it work well to get my toy? I was required to memorize Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy and be able to recite that without flaw to get my toy. I got the toy and clearly I memorized that religious thing.

Does this have a switch? I'll just leave it connected to Bible Teddy Let's take the batteries out of this. once again, it contains a screw to stop small people opening it up and eating the batteries. It takes three triples. Apparently I've kind of stalled making this video because I know I'll end up seeing some derogatory things about religion weren't I Yes, this is despite the fact that when I was young, I was brought up in a family where my dad was a church Elder in the Presbyterian Church of Scotland and my mom was a Sunday school teacher at the same venue.

So regular visits to church and getting the Bible bitten into me with Force at times. Oh, it's a very small circuit board. How do they fit all that religious power into one circuit board? This is going to be glued in. Oh, it's coming out.

Oh, it's gonna be a blob, isn't it? No. I See what looks like a memory chip? Possibly is there something else or is just that chip, right? Tell you what? I Think it's time to, um, take a picture of this and then we'll explore the secretary one moment, please? Okay, the picture has been taken. The reverse engineering has been done. If you thought it was quiet before, it's not quiet anymore.

It's been given the cardboard speaker treatment and is Extremely Loud Now definitely loud. The surprise thing about this is that this little chip here, uh, manages to squeeze in three tracks roughly a minute long each. That's pretty impressive. So let's Zoom down this and we'll explore the circuitry knot.

There is much to explore rather. sadly. this chip has two numbers on it and they both threw up Google wax which is kind of rare. Google Had nothing at all.

nothing in research results at all. Total: Google Whack. So the odd thing is that on the back of the circuit board, it's just got three components, two capacitors which turns out are in series, and it's got a resistor which is to tame the speaker down and it went from one of the speaker outputs over to a spare pad which is normally associated with the transistor for a different application. So you get a plus and minus coming on and it goes to those two capacitors in series.

I'm guessing if they've got two in series so that uh, if one of them fails, other will limit the current into it. It'll basically block the current into it. so it's not going to go bang because who wants their Ted to go bang in the middle of A Christmas Carol Well, a Biblical thing. There is a place for a decoupling capacitor next to the chip, but they haven't used it and after that, the chip looks like a special purpose chip.

It has two speaker outputs. uh, positive and negative. It's got three inputs and outputs. It's the way they've got the thing here.

They've got three switches in this, but by the look of it, the fact that this one is ring ground suggests it's only designed really for one sound effect, plus motor control. but they've configured it as three different tracks and they've foregone the two motor control facilities for gone. Um, what else is there here? Well, the let's take a look at the motor drive. It looks as though it's got an H-bridge driver here because this chip here has positive and negative going to and two control lanes and that goes out to E-motor But there is the option that if you use this control line, you can just stick a simple transistor in with a resistor in the base and it will just switch over to this pad which was used for the speaker as a sort of blank Pad But it can switch down to the negative connection.

so you could have a motor can connect between here or here and here. and uh, it would basically, um, give you a motor I Don't know what that before. Perhaps a vibrator motor? So it goes. Feel the power of the Lord and I'm not sure the other one would probably turn ahead.

Perhaps words, maybe make a mouth opening shot. I'd Guess it's a universal chip for this. Anything else here worth mentioning? Not really. Let's bring in the schematic.

Here is the schematic: I Mean you've kind of seen it all already. There's the batteries giving a plus or minus well plus 4.5 volts Supply and a zero volt rail. There is a switch in the battery pack. The two capacitors in the series has built-in redundancies.

The only thing I can think of here. the mystery chip. Go and try those numbers at Google whacked me completely. and then the three inputs that can also be outputs for the three switches and then that 10 Ohm resistor that had been stuck in series with the speaker.

If they were wanting to control a single motor, let's draw up here. They would have that configured like this. by the look of it. a Npn transistor and then a resistor.

Going to one of those output pins are just draw it straight to the chip. That would have to either have a back EMF suppression add diode are more likely they'd put a little capacitor across it as they often do. Um, the other option would be to have an H-bridge driver which would be the same order connected to the output of a chip connected to plus and minus rails and then the two control Lanes Going over to it and just controlling it via logic level. Interesting, but now are you ready to have your eardrums blown out with the full volume of this? It's got very creep creepy lyrics I Don't know if they're stunned or not, but it goes into I Love my sister because I love the Lord apparently.

So I've configured this so I could just plug into a USB port and we'll focus that onto this since it is more appropriate. This is going to be loud I Don't know if I should? Uh, I'll put it over I'll put it down over here just because there's a Pro LED wall light. There you go. Let's bridge this out.

Hopefully this isn't going to be absolutely deafening. It's going to be deafening, isn't it? Yes it is. It's deafening though, right? That's enough. That's enough.

The average current consumption waivers between 20 to 30 or 40 milliamps while it's playing, so it's not actually that heavy on the 5 volt. Supply I Won't let you hear the whole thing. It's tedious, but there we have it. Uh, Jesus Teddy Jesus Loved Me doesn't love me anymore, particularly because I've just disemboweled it.

But that is it. It's a device for enforcing religion on the wee babies and uh, yeah, it would be interesting to have programmed with different things, but that's not going to happen because you'd actually have to replace the circuit completely so it could go praise your invisible master or you will burn in hell and sleep well little kitties. Yeah, you could do things like that, but uh, in the meantime, that is it. Recommend buying one for anybody? No, because it's just a horrible idea.

but an interesting thing nonetheless.
