Description
Makey Makey is an invention kit that encourages people to find creative ways to interact with their computers, by using everyday objects as replacement for keyboard and mouse.
Technical Specification:
- The REV 1.2 board is built around the Microchip PIC 18F25K50.
- With the REV 1.2 reprogramming the microcontroller is no longer possible, and the functionality is now limited to keyboard and mouse emulation.
- REV 1.2 also drops the open source nature of the board design, and the new Makey Makey boards no longer can run stand-alone code.
- The newest 2017 version seems to be designed around a GPCE4096UA sound controller.
- Designed around the Atmel 32U4 microcontroller
- The e controller uses all 12 analog input pins on the 32U4 microcontroller in combination with a pull-up resistor array to sense the low voltages returning from conducting materials like fruit or skin
- This microcontroller can easily be used as a USB-HID device and act as a keyboard, gamepad or mouse
- You can also program the official Makey Makey using the Arduino IDE
Features:
- Design your own controller with everyday materials like playdough or graphite pencils
- Make musical circuits with liquids, fruits, and low cost office supplies
- Using foil, pennies, and paper clips, invent sensors just like scientists do
Applications:
- Craft and Code
- Supermarket Circuits
- Build your own Sensors
