Makey Deluxe Kit

You may be the greatest living banana-pianist, but how will you ever know if you don’t make yourself a banana piano? Good news, that project and countless others are easier than you think they are with MaKey MaKey.

Using the MaKey MaKey you can make anything into a key (get it?) just by connecting a few alligator clips. The MaKey MaKey is an invention kit that tricks your computer into thinking that almost anything is a keyboard. This allows you to hook up all kinds of fun things as an input. For example, play Mario with a Play-Doh keyboard, or piano with fruit!

The MaKey MaKey uses high resistance switching to detect when you’ve made a connection even through materials that aren’t very conductive (like leaves, pasta or people). This technique attracts noise on the input, so a moving window averager is used to lowpass the noise. The on-board ATMega32u4 communicates with your computer using the Human Interface Device (HID) protocol which means that it can act like a keyboard or mouse.

Note: Now included with the MaKey MaKey is a USB cable, pack of jumper wires as well as a pack of alligator clips!

Includes:

• 1 x MaKey MaKey HID Board v1.2
• 1 x Alligator Clip Pack
• 1 x Mini-USB Cable
• 1x Jumper Wire Pack

This kit is made in China and box is not included.
