MaKey MaKey DDR Pads I’m back to share with you the very first contraption I rigged up with my MaKey MaKey kit: dance pads for playing Flash Flash Revolution more like the game it imitates. (If you missed my first post that explains the concept of the MaKey MaKey, you should check it out here: Making Keys with MaKey MaKey!) Flash Flash Revolution is an online flash version of the dance video game Dance Dance Revolution. As with DDR, you pick a song and as it plays, patterns of arrows drift down the screen. The goal is to use the game controls to match the arrow keys in time with the music. DDR is played with a pad on the floor with arrows that you stomp, so playing the game makes you dance (or flail madly, depending on your level of skill). So, I decided to use my MaKey MaKey to create my own floor pads. Whereas real DDR pads work using pressure, mine would work by conducting a charge. Don’t forget about staying grounded! And, that’s it!

¿Qué es Makey-Makey? - Robótica Educativa con Makey-Makey para maestros ¿Qué es Makey-Makey? Makey-Makey es una placa similar al mando de una videoconsola que simula ser un teclado o ratón, lo que permite enviar órdenes al ordenador al que se encuentre conectado. En vez de pulsar los botones lo que hacemos es cerrar el circuito mediante contactos o pinzas de cocodrilo y de esta forma se simula haber pulsado un botón. La idea de Makey-Makey es sencilla y simple. Puedes contrar diferentes proyectos educativos en el laboratorio de Makey-Makey.

How to Make a Custom Operation Game Operation is a game that lets you test your hand-eye coordination by removing a variety of ailment tokens from a cartoon patient without touching the metal sides of each slot. Since its release in 1965, there have been a lot of special editions created. These feature popular characters such as Buzz Lightyear, R2D2 and Iron Man. The game’s simple design makes it very versatile and easy to adapt. In this project, I show you how you can make your own Operation style game from scratch. The complete project is here.

Nasa says EmDrive does work and it may have also created a Star Trek warp drive Nasa has been testing a highly controversial electromagnetic space propulsion technology called EmDrive and has found evidence that it may indeed work, and along the way, might even have made a sci-fi concept possible. The EmDrive is a technology that could make it much cheaper to launch satellites into space and could be key to solving the energy crisis, if solar power could be harnessed off the satellites and sent back to Earth. It was thought up and developed by a British scientist called Roger Shawyer, who spent years having his technology ridiculed by the international space community even though Boeing licensed it and the UK government was satisfied it worked. Read More: Roger Shawyer's exclusive interview with IBTimes UK in response to news of Nasa's experiments with EmDrive What is EmDrive? EmDrive is based on the theory of special relativity that it is possible to convert electrical energy into thrust without the need to expel any form of repellent.

21 everyday objects you can hack, from a bacon sandwich to a pencil Jay Silver demonstrates how a cat’s water bowl can be rigged to take photos. Photo: Ryan Lash MaKey MaKey — the kit that encourages you to rig a banana piano or control a video game with pencil-etchings — was one of the most successful projects on Kickstarter in 2012. The project raised 2, 272% of its goal in 30 days, bringing in a cool half million from excited makers. Jay Silver: Hack a banana, make a keyboard! Today’s TED Talk comes from the co-creator of the MaKey MaKey, Jay Silver. “Sometimes what we know gets in the way of what could be, especially when it comes to the human-made world. In the talk, Silver also introduces us to the MaKey MaKey, using it in a demo at 7:50 to turn two slices of pizza into a slide clicker. Here, a collection of really cool things made with MaKey MaKey.

MaKey MaKey Deluxe Kit, Keyboard/Mouse via Conduct Turn almost anything into a keyboard or mouse! MaKey MaKey is an invention kit for the 21st century. It allows you to turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It's a simple Invention Kit for Beginners and Experts doing art, engineering, and everything in between. The heart of MaKey MaKey is a printed circuit board with an ATmega32U4 microcontroller running Arduino Leonardo firmware. The board uses a pull-up resistor of 10-50 MΩ. Default inputs — no programming required There are six inputs on the front of the board which can be attached to objects via alligator clipping, soldering to the pads, or any other method you can think of. 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. Arduino Compatibility You can use your MaKey MaKey board in "Arduino mode" at any time. Videos of MaKey MaKey Usage Deluxe Kit Contents MaKey MaKey Resources

Can I make a full USB keyboard with Makey Makey + Raspberry Pi If you just want to make a keyboard, without using your Makey Makey, you can do that using the GPIO functionality of the Raspberry Pi. But like commented before, the Raspberry Pi does not have sufficient pins available to make a keyboard that is actually useful. However, if you are willing to add 2 IC's you can make yourself a keyboard with so much keys that you will have a problem to come up with a function for every key! My suggestion is to connect 2 I2C IC's to the I2C bus on the Raspberry Pi, and use those to create your own scan matrix. If you use one PCF8574 you have 8 I/O pins available, if you get a PCF8575 you even have 16 I/O pins available. 64 keys: (2x PCF8574)128 keys: (1x PCF8574 & 1x PCF8575)256 keys: (2x PCF8575) You have to use always one of them as output, and one as input. The reason for this truckload of diodes is that it will prevent things like ghosting and masking of keys. Hope this helps you a little.
