Deadly, yet adorable, this plush turret from the game Portal talks and responds when you play with it. It senses when you pick it up, knock it over, or walk in front of it. The stuffing and soft fleece skin make it super cuddly, too!
Inspired by Up, not North.

Bill of Materials

This open source hardware project contains no parts.

Steps

21. Solder SD card slot

Solder the four large flanges on the sides of the slot first. then solder the rest of the small pins that are in the middle of the board. The flanges are for structural support, and the small pins carry electronic signals.

22. Insert resistor

Insert the 10k (brown-black-orange) resistor into the R6 slot. Note: this resistor is too close to IC4. I recommend that you install this resistor after installing IC4 otherwise your IC4 may not seat properly.

23. Solder resistor

Bend the leads so it doesn't fall out when you turn the board over. Solder it in place.
