The events are detected by specific gadgets, which are handled by the Tux Gadget Manager. The Tux Droid supports Linux kernel 2.4 or later and needs an 800 MHz CPU and 128 MB RAM. Communication from Tux Droid to the computer is via signalling operating in the 802.11 WLAN band, but not compatible with Wi-Fi. The receiver resembles a plastic fish, and connects to the host computer's USB port. An infrared remote control is supplied; signals from this are received by Tux Droid and sent to the host software over the wireless link. For media detection it needs an internet connection. The mascot is driven by Atmel AVR RISC microcontrollers. The new version supports also Windows-based PCs. The Tux Droid can be used with Windows XP and Windows Vista.
