Makey Makey 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. 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 your MaKey MaKey, you can simply reprogram it using the Arduino environment. Oh yeah, we didn't mention that the MaKey MaKey is an Arduino-compatible controller? That's right, it runs the Leonardo bootloader so reprogramming is fast and easy. Note: Now included with the Makey Makey is a USB cable, pack of jumper wires as well as a pack of alligator clips! read more : #TUTORIAL MAKEY MAKEY AND ITS APPLICATIONS Also check Cypress Semicondictor CY8CKIT- 048 Analog Coprocessor Pioneer Kit Guide . The board is a development tool that allows users to create and test projects that involve analog sensors. Features: With ATMega32u4 chip it connects with your computer like a keyboard or mouse. The MaKey MaKey allows you to connect regular items. Up to six connections can be made using alligator clips or soldering. You can simply modify it with Arduino software. It's an excellent method to learn and have fun with technology. Applications: DIY Projects School projects
