Makey Makey Kit 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 input. For example, play Mario with a Play-Doh keyboard, or piano with fruit! It 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 average is used to low-pass the noise.
The onboard ATMega32u4 communicates with your computer using the Human Interface Device (HID) protocol, which means that it can act as a keyboard or mouse. There are six inputs on the front of the board, which can be attached to via alligator clipping, soldering to the pads, or any other method you can think of.
There are another 12 inputs on the back, 6 for keyboard keys, and 6 for mouse motion, which you can access with jumpers via the female headers. If you wish to use a different set of keys, or otherwise change the behavior of this kit, you can simply reprogram it using the Arduino environment.
The Makey Makey Invention Kit is a gateway to a world of imagination and innovation. It allows you to transform ordinary objects into touch-sensitive inputs for your computer. From fruits to playdough, the possibilities are endless. Get ready to explore a new dimension of interactive experiences.
