Makey Makey GO is the World’s First Invention Kit that goes with you everywhere. Makey Makey GO catalyzes the same creativity and ingenuity in creators as the original, award-winning Makey Makey Classic and gives today’s tinkerers, dreamers, and makers even more mobility—allowing them to invent anytime, anywhere.
Small enough to fit on your keychain, book bag, or bracelet, Makey Makey GO turns everyday objects into touchpads and combines them with the internet. It’s a simple tool-slash-toy that allows beginners and experts to make countless art, music, engineering, and science projects. It comes ready to use out of the box with no setup and no installations. Just plug and play.

Makey Makey is the heart of thousands of fun electronics projects at home or in the classroom. In this project, Sam builds a pencil piano with a Makey Makey! While we've drawn a piano, you could use any picture with a similar outcome!

Step 1 - Draw your keys or pads on your paper making sure that all of you pencil strokes are touching (continuous). Make sure that each key drawing is separate and not touching each other.

Step 2 - Connect your alligator clips up to each key or pad that you’ve drawn. You can connect/draw as many or as few as you like. Then connect this alligator clips to the input pads on your Makey Makey

Step 3 - Connect a ground alligator clip to the Makey Makey, and hold the other end while you play your own unique instrument!

📝📝📝 VIDEO DESCRIPTION 📝📝📝

In this Makey Makey Basics tutorial, I’ll introduce new learners and educators to the Makey Makey device. We can connect the Makey Makey directly to the computer as it is essentially a keyboard or mouse. We can immediately start using the Makey Makey, by touching the ‘Earth’ connection and one of the input buttons. The reason this works is because electricity flows through us from the ground connection to the input button. We complete a circuit. A circuit is essentially a flow of energy. With this understanding, we are ready to test and explore some other conductive materials.
We’ll look at all things metallic, as they are fantastic conductors. These include copper tape, tinfoil and even a dense graphite pencil. We’ll look at fruit as well as water and play doh. Anything that conducts electricity will work. Some insulators (non-conductive materials) include wood, glass and plastic.

Makey Makey is compatible with all major operating systems: Mac, Windows, Linux, Google Chromebooks. It isn’t officially supported on mobile and tablet devices.

New to Makey Makey? Or having trouble getting your Makey Makey to work? Here's a video walk-through of how to plug in your invention kit for the first time and check that all of the components are working. To learn more about what you can do with Makey Makey, check out our website: http://www.makeymakey.com where we have free project guides and new booster kits!

If you run through these troubleshooting steps and any of the components do not seem to be functioning correctly, contact us at support@joylabz.com. If your Makey Makey is still under warranty, we will gladly replace the part that is not working.

---------------------------------------------
TROUBLESHOOTING

1) When troubleshooting, open the piano app on our website, so we can rule out problems with any other software you might be using: http://www.makeymakey.com/piano

2) Plug the Makey Makey board into your computer's USB port with the red USB cable.
-- Does the red LED on the Makey Makey board light up?
-- Do the green LEDs light up in sequence and then shut off? (This indicates the board is checking the connections.)

3) Just using your hands (not the alligator clips yet), touch the silver EARTH bar at the bottom of the board with one finger and, at the same time, touch any of the silver arrow keys (UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT) on the Makey Makey board. The individual green LEDS should light up when a connection is made, and the on-screen piano should play music.
-- If you're someplace less humid, try moistening your fingers.
-- If the piano keys changed color on screen, but there was no sound, check the volume on your computer.
-- If the green LEDs light up but the on-screen piano did not respond at all, you may have a faulty USB cable. [If you happen to have a spare mini USB (the Makey Makey end) to USB Type-A cable (or USB Type-C if you are connecting to a newer Apple laptop), it is worth trying that USB cable.]
-- If the green LEDS do not light up when you touch EARTH with one finger and any of the arrow keys on the Makey Makey board with another finger, the problem may be with the board itself.

4) If everything in the steps above has worked, we can test your alligator clips. Pick any color of alligator clip and plug one end of the clip to any of the six EARTH inputs along the bottom of the Makey Makey board. With the other end of the clip, touch the silver input pad labelled SPACE.
-- If the on-screen piano makes music when you use your hands, but it doesn't work when you use the alligator clips, you might have defective alligator clips. Switch the alligator clip you are using, and test each of them!

If something still isn't functioning correctly, let us know which component is not working based on the troubleshooting steps above. Send us an email at support@joylabz.com.

It can also help if you email us photos of the front and back of your Makey Makey board and/or let us know:
-- Version number printed on the back of your Makey Makey (for example: “v1.5” or “v1.6b”; look on the back under “Makey Makey”).
-- Computer Operating System and OS release number that you are using with Makey Makey (for example: “Windows 10” or “macOS 10.13.6” or “iOS 10”).
-- Where and when you purchased your Makey Makey (for example: the order number from our online store or receipt from an authorized reseller).

*******************

When you clip real-world things to Makey Makey, it turns the objects into keyboard keys, so you can control your computer with anything from a carrot to a bowl of water.

Play Super Mario Bros. with blobs of Play-Doh, make Pac-Man eat ghosts with a controller you drew in pencil, or jam out with banana bongos.

Anything that conducts even a tiny bit of electricity can become a key! Makey Makey is truly plug-and-play, both for the computer you control and for the objects you choose for input.

Here’s a short list of things you can turn into keys: skin, vegetables, pencil drawings, Play-Doh, tap water, coins, pets (if you can get them to sit still), silverware, aluminum foil, and anything else you can think of that can conduct a current.

Once you’ve mastered the piano dance from the movie Big in your living room, go exploring and try creating something totally new with Makey Makey.
