Whats up /diy/, I have this concern. I want to build a Sentry Turret, the one from the famous game series Portal. I just dont know the sensors I need to take, or which microcontroller to use. Can you give me a hand? If we can skip any Arduino related thing, better, and I dont care about the costs, I just want to know the ingredients to build one of these.

thank YOU very much!!
I've been wanting to build something like this that shoots paintballs to keep deer out of my garden

you could make a really dope one
just run it from a computer
get a CM1K devkit from cognimeme to recognize people
connect a webcam to the computer
control angle of turret with motors

There was also the guy who rigged up a R-Pi with a laser to shoot flies out of the air. Dunno how much info he put online about it tho.
I only bought Portal 2 recently. The snarky dialog is kinda overdone IMO.
Some parts are funny tho. I like how when Wheatley tries to put a bunch of crap turrets on you, and there's one that's still in the box.

At least in the USA--they sell automatic sprinklers that will do that.
It's not as sadistic as paintballs, but anyway. It's a lot quicker and easier way to something that works.

I have one of those sprinklers, they get used to it after a while

I dont know much about electronic, can i make the sistem to deploy the weapons of the portal turret with arduino and servomotors?

The system servo will need 2 ardino for the turret alignment, bes u luck frend
