Makey Makey

I videotaped myself playing with mine but two adults came and ruined it all with talking

Their site
Found some programs to use! And one was in Scratch!
Go to makeymakey.com/howto and scroll down to see programs

Also I'm not spoiled or anything my godfather said he'd get me one a month or so ago when he found it on Kickstarter

Re: Makey Makey

I almost bought one of those, but I waited, hoping I'd win their contest. [Lightnin helped out with the Makey Makey forums.  smile ]

Re: Makey Makey

Don't the Scratch sensor boards have a similar (but less functional) feature with alligator clips?

Yes, but they can only be used in Scratch or modifications of Scratch.

Re: Makey Makey

I just ordered this today. How long did it take to arrive for you guys?

This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

Re: Makey Makey

I've just got a MaKey MaKey today! I would have gotten it earlier in September possibly, but I had some ordering issues.  tongue

So, does anybody have any suggestions for things I can make with it? I started by experimenting with some of the sample projects on their website, and by drawing diagrams on paper (since the material in pencils is partially conductive) - so by touching the shapes, the various keys would be pressed.  smile

Maybe I will make something to control Minecraft or some of my Scratch projects...

I used it to control Minecraft, but it used up ALL my alligator clips and wires. Go figure.  wink

Re: Makey Makey

I'd really like to play around with one of these, but I'm not sure for $50. I'm a big gadget guy, but I try to control my spending.  smile
