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
1. Gather parts
Lay out your parts and make sure that you have everything. Clockwise from top left: voltage regulator, switch, LED, 2 resistors, 2 electrolytic capacitors, 2 ceramic capacitors, resonator, power jack, diode, PCB, ATMega328, IC socket, and 3 headers.
3. Insert resistors
Start by inserting the resistors as shown. Bend the leads outwards after you have inserted the resistors so they hold themselves in place.
5. Insert capacitors
Insert the two small capacitors into the holes for caps C3 and C4. Bend their legs so they don't fall out when you turn the board upside-down.
