Holler folks, how's yo'selves? So I'm putting on a show at XpoNorth (a music, design and film festival in the Scottish Highlands) and I plan on using my Makey Makey as the brain of my crowd-controlled-atmospheric-audio-emitter or The Steve for short.

Is it safe and OK to solder wires to the MakeyMakey board?
Looking into placing the MakeyMakey in a box with the various connections, connected to sockets. This will allow me to plug in various buttons that I want to use as quiz night buzzers

Hello.

I have a Makey Makey v1.2 and I'd like to remap it with specific keys. I am aware I can do this through the online tool. However, within the online tool, there is no option for specific SHIFT keys like "{" or "<" that I'd like to remap. Is there...

Hey Ramiscomakimaki,

Oh awesome!
That sounds super cool.

How are you integrating it into your performances?

Hey Ramisco,

Oh!  That's how you're using Makey Makeys in your performances!  Cool.

I think the record is like. . . something over 100 people.  I'm not sure that a maximum number of people has been discovered.

Something I can advise though, is that som...

Hey MBP,

Errr, yeah!  I think that should be fine.  I guess it's possible something could go wrong and you could lose some functionality, but it should be fine.

Many people will use wire on the front connectors, and just wrap wires through the holes a ...

Hey Dude,

Unfortunately not.  At this point the "modifier keys" aren't remappable.

Best,

Hello,
I have searched the forum for this same question and most of the posts seem pretty old (circa 2013). I thought I'd start a new one and see where it leads. Has anyone had any luck getting the MM to connect to a newer iPad? I have an iPad Air runn...

Hey Ben,

Yeah, iOS devices have changed to make it easier for devices like Makey Makey to connect to them!
Typically when you plug in a Makey Makey Classic, you get the message "Connected device requires too much power" which you can get around by wiri...

Output based on array of input keys

Hi everyone

I'm completely new to the concept of Makey Makey and even Arduino.

Just wanted to know if there's a way to store the inputs of makey makey in say an array, and then based on the content of that array run a dc motor from the output.

Any help...

Hey ishanrohatgi09,

Hmm.. . I don't know about an array.
Makey Makey just works like a USB keyboard or mouse, sending that type of input data to a computer when the various circuits are closed on the Makey Makey.

And but, you can just power a small mot...

So the idea effectively is to make a floor piano using a MakeyMakey. If somehow I could store the input of the MakeyMakey as an array, I wanted to activate/run a linear actuator to open/close a door latch based on the input of the MakeMakey (floor pian...

Hi All,

Done a search but seen the answer to this one. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology?

Basically; makey makey works fine - but the keypresses only work (on mac) when the software you are mapped to is in focus, meaning at the front of the windo...

Can the Makey Makey still be used like an Arduino?

It seems as though I can't reprogram it with either the Leonardo mode or the Sparkfun mode on the Arduino IDE or codebender.

I have the JoyLabz Makey Makey v1.2  Model# 1.2AB

Thanks,

Hey ishanrohatgi09,

Oh!  Cool.  Well, it sounds like you could do well to use an older version of Makey Makey, from back when Makey Makey was built straight on Arduino boards.

It might be easiest to use a sparkfun Makey Makey, which is still Arduino ba...

Hey Justin,

Nope, the Makey Makey v1.2 can't be reprogrammed using Arduino.
If you want to change the keystrokes it outputs, you can easily do that via http://makeymakey.com/remap/
