I suggest using a program like Slic3r or Prusa Slicer to split them into individual parts. The code runs on some briliant libraries. All functionality is split over differnt files to keep it maintainable to some degree.

Keep in mind that most of this software was written to just get the turret to work, so it's not quite optimized for readability.

The full source code of the turret can be found here. Make sure you use the LittleFS Data Upload tool mentioned lower on the page!

This page provides information about how to use the Filesystem of the Wemos to run the webpage. You can use this page to get started with programming the Wemos.

You'll need the Arduino IDE to install some libraries and program the board. This powerful little board has onboard WiFi and can be programmed like an Arduino. The Wemos D1 Mini is the brain of the turret. Specification of your chosen chips and boards before hooking them up! These are just some of the things I bumped into when building the turret. There's useful information in there that is not specifically mentioned in this guide!

Make sure to read the documentation of all the tiny boards.

The SD card should be formated to FAT32, otherwise it can cause issues with the sounds.

Keeping it in the schematic as this is how I've got it to work. The logic level of this chip isģ.3V, but I tied this pin straight to the 5V line as a mistake.

For the ADX元45 to work in I2C mode, the CS pin needs to be pulled high.

You need to get a 3.3V to 5V logic converter if your LEDs are showing weird colors. In my case I got it to work, but chances are

The wemos runs on 3.3V, but the LED ring signal expects 5V.

Idle, so chances are the Wemos won't boot correctly using one of the remaining pins. However, the MP3 player will pull the pin high when it's That's a waste of the analogįunction as there are 2 digital pins left.

I'm using the analog pin of the Wemos to check if the MP3 player is busy.

I chose this pin is because the other remaining pins couldn't be pulled high on the Wemos without

There's a 4.7kΩ resistor used to pull op the D0 pin used for the open/close detection switch.

There's nothing worse than having to replace a part right after you're done with the final assembly.

Use a breadboard to make sure everything works.

It provides you with OTA Update abilities so you don't have to connect it through USB every time. Make sure you upload the sketch beforehand.

Once the Wemos is built in, it's quite hard to reach it.

Then there's the PIR sensor and the LED ring both using just one pin for communication. The ADX元45 and the PCA9685 both run on the I2C protocol. All of the components run on the 5V lines. This schematics of the turret are relatively simple. Regular tools like screwdrivers, small saw, etc. A USB charger will work.ġ PCA9685 board, preferably without pre-soldered headersġ.5mm screws. Items neededĥV power supply with some decent amperage (2A should do fine). If you feel like this is a fun project and want to support me somehow, you can use the button below to buy me a coffee or something. That's why I'm releasing all the files and guide for free. But I also believe other people should be able to enjoy building cool things like this.

Putting together the design for this turret was quite a challenge. Doing it step by step will certainly help getting your turret up and running. Take your time to study the schematics and maybe even take a look at the source code before doing a full assembly. The most challenging part will probably be the wiring, and routing of these wires.Ĭut your wires long enough, you can always shorten them. Since there were quite some requests about releasing the print files, I decided to write down the steps to build one yourself.Ī lot of the problems I encountered during the design process are fixed, so the build should be rather straightforward. This guide was written after the full assembly of the turret. Physical size of the turret, this was something to be expected. There were some sacrifices here and there, but concidering the

Make it look like you can't really tell it's 3D printed.

It should respond like the turret in game, so I'd need sound, detection of people and movement.

Get as much freedom of movement in there as physically possible.

I'm using a Prusa Mini, so I wanted to keep the size of parts

Try to keep the design small and compact.

Something cool that moved with servos and challenge myself in what I could achieve with Fusion 360.

The reason I started this project was because now that I owned a 3D printer, I really wanted to create Shaped white units lure you in with cute voicelines, but completely shoot you to pieces with one wrong move. Ever since the release of Portal in 2007, the turrets featured in the game Portal are a true hit.
