Datasheet

Using the Makey Makey you can make anything into a key just by connecting a few
alligator clips. The Makey Makey Classic by JoyLabz 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 an input. For example, play Mario with a Play-Doh keyboard or
piano with fruit!
The Makey Makey Classic 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 Makey Makey can also 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, six for keyboard keys and six for mouse motion, which you can access with
jumpers via the female headers.
