Introducing Makey Makey!

Lets make music.....


Click here to get your piano... 

or click to get your drum machine...

Follow these steps to make the circuits and set up for all the fun.
Remember  - green = grass = earth.


Setup

1) Plug in USB
Small side of USB cable plugs into MaKey MaKey, big side plugs into computer.



2) Close Popup Window
Your computer may ask you to install drivers or do other setup. You can click cancel or close the window.

3) Connect to Earth
Connect one end of an alligator clip to "Earth" on the bottom of the front side of MaKey MaKey.



4) Connect to Yourself
Hold the metal part of the other end of the alligator clip between your fingers. You are now "grounded."

5) Check out the drum-kit or the keyboard. 6) Connect Stuff Now you can try making your own drums out of anything. How about a banana cowbell,  a watermelon bass drum, or a crash cymbal sound when you high-five your friend? Be inspired by these ideas.  We might need some lots of trial and experimentation to get to this level.
