MaKey MaKey

MaKey MaKey - Standard Kit (WIG-11511)

Using the MaKey MaKey you can make anything into a key (get it?) just by connecting a few alligator clips. The MaKey MaKey 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.

The MaKey MaKey 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 on-board ATMega32u4 communicates with your computer using the Human Interface Device (HID) protocol which means that it can act like a keyboard or mouse.

makeymakey's Issues

Character + and -

Hello,
I want to control GoogleEarth with MakeyMakey and wanted to change the Firmware for example like:

settings.h

KEY_UP_ARROW, // up arrow pad
KEY_DOWN_ARROW, // down arrow pad
KEY_LEFT_ARROW, // left arrow pad
KEY_RIGHT_ARROW, // right arrow pad
'+', // space button pad
'-', // click button pad

Letters, etc. work fine but i have only problems with + and -.

Thanks,
Alex

Keyboard.h and Mouse.h, no such file or directory

Hello,

I had an error on line 28 when uploading the file makey_makey.ino in my makey makey card.
If it happens to someone else, I have been able to solve the problem with removing the includes of Keyboard.h and Mouse.h

Regards,
Céline de Roland

issue when uploading the code: <Keyboard.h> and <Mouse.h>, no such file or dictionary

Hi there, I've done all the steps according to this tutorial: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/makey-makey-advanced-guide

Though when I upload the code, here's the error log:

Arduino: 1.6.5 (Mac OS X), Board: "SparkFun MaKey MaKey"

makey_makey_1_4_2.ino:48:22: fatal error: Keyboard.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Error compiling.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.

it doesn't work when remove the #include <Mouse.h> and #include <Keyboard.h>

Thanks in advance!

Jim needs to check this out....

Sketch doesn't compile out of the box - USB_VID and USB_PID undefined

I attempt to build and get the following:

/home/brennen/sketchbook/hardware/MaKeyMaKey/cores/arduino/USBCore.cpp:78:2: error: 'USB_VID' was not declared in this scope
/home/brennen/sketchbook/hardware/MaKeyMaKey/cores/arduino/USBCore.cpp:78:2: error: 'USB_PID' was not declared in this scope
/home/brennen/sketchbook/hardware/MaKeyMaKey/cores/arduino/USBCore.cpp:81:2: error: 'USB_VID' was not declared in this scope
/home/brennen/sketchbook/hardware/MaKeyMaKey/cores/arduino/USBCore.cpp:81:2: error: 'USB_PID' was not declared in this scope

I was able to fix this by popping

#define USB_VID 0x1B4F
#define USB_PID 0xF101

at the bottom of firmware/Arduino/hardware/MaKeyMaKey/cores/arduino/USBDesc.h, which seems to be where they live in the stock Arduino libs.

Thoughts?
