Portal Turret Plushie
By: kurt
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.

Steps
106. Solder wire
Take the red wire from the PIR sensor and solder it to the resistor lead that is sticking out of the 5V hole on the RBBB.
107. Cut hole
Cut a hole in the container for the PIR sensor. The PIR sensor does not see well through plastic for some reason. I cut an octagon because it was easier than cutting a circle.
109. Thread a thin wire through PIR sensor
Take a thread or fine wire and thread it through one of the mounting holes on the PIR sensor.
110. Loop the thread around LED leads
Push the thread through one of the holes made by the LED leads.
