Schematic that I made for building the turret.

Code

Portal turret w Radio (RED)

C/C++
Code used for turret. This includes code that will enable control by the Master Turret Control, featured on another page.
Different flavours require tweaking.
//
/* Portal Turret - Option With Radio!!
 *  Chris Nowak - Feb 2019
 *  https://www.instructables.com/member/ChrisN219/
 *  https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/Novachris/talking-portal-2-turret-gun-637bf3
 *  
 *  This code includes all the features needed to perform the Cara Mia Opera, 
 *  Chat Time and Manual mode, as controlled by the Maseter Turret Control (MTC).
 *  The MTC is a separate controller featured on another build.  The turret
 *  will operate autonomously using this code without the MTC.
 *  
 *  The code is built to work with three turrets, but each will operate independently.
 *  Lots of debugging code left in.  Use or clean up as desired.  It's mostly debugged,
 *  but isn't perfect.  Given the price you paid, I figure that's ok! ;)
