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

56. Trim wires

Trim the wrapped wires so they aren't too long.

P6203833

57. Solder wires

Solder them together so they don't come undone.

P6203834

58. Solder wires

Solder the other end of the A0 wire to A0 on the RBBB. Solder another wire between 5v on the Wave Shield and 5V on the RBBB. Also solder a wire between Gnd and gnd on the Wave shield. These two holes aren't connected on the board to prevent a ground loop.

59. Solder wires

Solder a pair of wires to the two holes next to the audio jack on the Wave Shield. These will carry the audio signal to the speaker. (Do not solder these wires to the speaker yet. Do that after you have threaded the wires through your case. I'll show you when to do this in a later step.)

60. Solder wires

Connect gnd on the Wave Shield to the inner Analog In 1&4 connectors on the Wave Shield. These wires will be used for the ground connection for the tilt sensor and the lift switch. Don't solder the speaker to the Wave Shield yet. This will be done later.
