Abstract

A device including a backplane and electrically controllable elements of an interconnected circuit system are controlled by a pluggable computer card. A processor in the pluggable computer card retrieves configuration data from the backplane device. The configuration data preferably indicates which of a set of protocols is to be used for establishing communication with a particular target circuit of the interconnected circuit system. Buffers in the pluggable computer card are used to temporarily store control instructions generated by the processor for real-time control of the electrically controllable elements of the device. Supporting other features of the invention, a backplane controller disposed in the device intercepts and generates electronic signals between multiple circuit cards connected to the device to facilitate communication therebetween. In one embodiment, the interconnected circuit system including pluggable computer card and electrically controllable elements are used to create a 'live' toy such as a stuffed animal.
