Nanoztag clone

Nanoztags were the small RFID-enabled companions of two of the relatively early IoT devices: the electronic rabbits Nabaztag:tag and the later Karotz, made by Violet. By 'sniffing' the RFID tag it was possible to trigger a variety of actions. Thanks to the OpenKarotz project, I still use my Karotz to retrieve weather forecasts and control my central heating, HiFi, TV and various other IoT devices.

As well as being (arguably) useful, the Nanoztags were also extremely cute with their posable ears. Hence this clone! The design allows small round ISO14443A RFID tags to be fitted in the base allowing a degree of IoT communication. Note that these tags will NOT work with a genuine Nabaztag:tag or Karotz (these use the much rarer ISO14443B protocol) but are compatible with many of the readily available RFID readers.
