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

11. Solder capacitors

Bend the leads of the capacitors to hold them in place and solder their leads.

P6183759

12. Insert DIP socket

Insert the DIP (dual in-line package) socket. The divot on the end of socket goes closest to the switch. This lines up with what is printed on the circuit board.

P6183760

13. Solder DIP socket

Turn the board upside down and set it on something so that it is resting on the DIP socket. I used my diagonal cutters for this. This keeps the socket pushed through the holes while you're soldering. Solder the DIP socket. Solder two diagonal leads first and make sure the socket is fully seated. Then solder the rest of the leads.

14. Insert resonator

Insert the resonator into the three holes marked with a little rectangle. The resonator can be installed wither way. I installed it with the label outwards so I can read it.

15. Solder resonator

Solder the resonator in place.
