Leigh both designed the turret pattern and sewed it together (which, to me, is essentially magic). Here’s the Terminator-esque skeleton of the electronics and supporting framework. The structure is made from heavy-gauge copper wire, a laser-cut platform, and hot glue. It may not be pretty, but it gets the job done. Internally, the electronics are housed in a plastic cup to keep them separate from the stuffing (thanks for the suggestion, Adam Smith!).Īs much as we’d love to make you one or sell you a kit, the last time I suggested doing something like that I was very quickly disuaded. So, if anyone from Valve sees this and wants to talk about giving us permission, or at least turning a blind eye, please get in touch! Otherwise, sorry: you’ll have to make your own. Information about the electronics are provided below. Tiny tact switch to detect if it’s lifted.Passive Infrared sensor to detect motion.Adafruit Wave Shield to play the sounds.The pattern is still a work-in-progress, but once Leigh’s ready I’ll post that here, too. If I make more, I’ll use something like a BBB instead of an Arduino to keep costs down, but I used what I had handy. The Passive Infrared sensor detects changes, so it can give a lot of false positives and false negatives in the future I might try an IR rangefinder instead, but they come with their own problems.
I’m particularly proud of the “lift” sensor: it’s just a little button on the bottom of one of the legs. The weight of the plushie keeps it pressed when it’s standing up. The LEDs are completely independent of the rest of the electronics. In a future version I’ll have them controlled by the Arduino, so I can fade them out when the plushie is knocked over.
PORTAL TURRET PLUSHIE DOWNLOAD
If you’d like, you can download the code. I wrote a function to randomly play a sound file from a given directory, and then tied a directory to each event. It’s not quite as simple as “event triggers sound”: it only places a “tipped over” event if it’s also “lifted,” after being righted it plays an “activated” sound before resuming normal behaviour, etc. All it all, the interactivity works pretty well (if I say so myself).
