Yeah, the transaction would go horribly wrong. We’ve all wondered what it would be like to have the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device in real life. You know, it’s the gun from Portal. Find great deals on eBay for portal gun. Shop with confidence. Portal 2 Portal Gun Valve 2011 Aperture Laboratories 24' x 9' x 9'. Buy It Now +$58.00 shipping. The only gun there is on portal 2 is the portal gun which creates the portals. You shoot a portal on white surface, and shoot another portal on a white surface, and you can move yourself.
Note that all these components are really generic..feel free to swap parts in where you can (Sparkfun is more expensive than Mouser, Digikey, Ebay, or the dumpster). Most of my parts came from stuff I got out of the dumpster.. One thing that came in handy where a bunch of 0.1 spaced JST connectors that I got out of an old CD player. I'd like to make a much smaller board. The resistor used for the speaker can be swapped out for a lower value to make it louder. Be careful not to draw more than 20mA (recommended continuous current draw) from a pin. I tested my speaker without a resistor..highest current pulled was ~18mA (guessing this is because the sound is not continuous).
I highly recommend using connectors between the 7 segment, rotary encoder, front panel lights, and the crystal light to the main board. I used some JST connectors I found in an old cd play (from the dump). I used an 8 pin (only using 7 of the pins for the 7 segment), two 5 pins (using 4 pins for the 7 segment from one and all pins for the rotary encoder), a 3 pin (LED), and two 2 pins (one for the battery and one for the speaker). I can't seem to source the ones I used, their wires are in a different order that standard JST connectors (not that this really matters).
WARNING!!! BE CAREFUL WITH WIRE ORDER, I WAS GOING FOR A SINGLE SIDED BOARD, SO THERE ARE MANY NON-SYMMETRIC PINOUTS!!! Pc left 4 dead 2 split screen.
Instructions:
- Print out stls.
- Mill or order PCBs files.
- Populate PCBs. I used JST connectors for everything. Using connectors makes life a ton easier when assembling this thing. I used schottky diodes in the 'main.brd' file because that's all I had on hand.
- Upload firmware and test all the electronics together BEFORE assembly.
- Glue handle sides together (I used superglue).
- Insert the 'knob' board into the handle slot.
- Glue handle to the body (I used superglue).
- Cover the rotary encoder with tape.
- Sand..fill in gaps with filler (I used Elmers Wood Filler)..sand..primer..repeat..
- Paint body.
- Put in 'led' board.
- Find a cylinder like lightbulb.
- Cut it in half with a dremel.
- Tape the sharp edges.
- Create a 'crystal' over one of the WS2812 leds with hot glue.
- Hot glue 'crystal' inside the lightbulb.
- Fill lightbulb with a clear resin.
- Insert lightbulb to assembly.
- Cut and drill a front cover from plastic (I used a mill and the Eagle file named plate.brd).
- Paint front plate if necessary.
- Glue WS2812 LEDs to the front plate.
- Attach front plate to assembly (I ended up drilling the holes manually rather than using my mill since I had self tapping screws).
- Done.
Where To Buy A Rick And Morty Portal Gun
place the clear tube assembly inside the main barrel of the gun and glue it in.
glue the LEDs onto the rear of the diffuser and affix the switch somewhere inside the handle assembly where it will be easily reached by your thumb when holding the gun.
glue the front shell the the barrel assembly so the peak of the front shell is at the same level of the front barrel.
drill two holes behind the hook mounting points. into which glue the wires.
on the top of the barrel behind the hook mounting point drill a hole for the wire.
in the wire emitter points on the back shell drill holes where the wires will be placed.
glue the back shell onto the rear of the gun and drill down through the top hole in the rear shell. (20mm) for another section of the solid bar to be placed to bring the ligth up to the top of the gun. (make sure the main diffuser bar comes back to the same point as the top down bar reaches the lights so that all the light will be used.
once all the glue has dried and set glue the wires into the rear shells and let them set.
now add the front claws onto the mounting points and posision them correctly.
