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

21. Solder SD card slot

Solder the four large flanges on the sides of the slot first. then solder the rest of the small pins that are in the middle of the board. The flanges are for structural support, and the small pins carry electronic signals.

P6183772

22. Insert resistor

Insert the 10k (brown-black-orange) resistor into the R6 slot. Note: this resistor is too close to IC4. I recommend that you install this resistor after installing IC4 otherwise your IC4 may not seat properly.

P6183773

23. Solder resistor

Bend the leads so it doesn't fall out when you turn the board over. Solder it in place.

P6183774

24. Insert resistors

Insert resistors R7 (1.5k, brown-green-red) and R8 (100k, brown-black-yellow) as shown.
