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.

49. Test RBBB, USB BUB II, Wave Shield, and SD Card

Now is a good time to test out your components and make sure they work. Format the SD card with the settings shown in the image. Copy the "test.wav" audio file to the SD Card. Insert the SD Card into the Wave Shield. Plug the RBBB in to the USB BUB II, and connect it to your computer. Download the program WaveShieldTest.pde to the RBBB. Plug some headphones into the 3.5mm jack. If you hear sound, everything is working properly!
