1. Product overview
1.1 Product positioning
TY001 is the split version of TY002, with the main unit and control panel designed as separate parts. The smaller main unit (3.9 × 4.0 × 3.0 cm) can be placed flexibly inside a plush toy or anywhere in the setup, while the control panel (5.3 × 2.1 cm) separately carries the buttons, USB Type-C charging port and TF card slot. Suited to plush toys that already have a control panel, or to installations where the main unit and interaction panel need to be mounted separately. All other functions are identical to TY002.
