Day 6: Music Stairs With Makey Makey and Scratch

11:12 PM Xun 0 Comments

I did it!

After the disaster from yesterday, I did some thinking and googling, found out a much better way to wire up my stairs.

No more easy-to-crumble bulky clumsy aluminum foil, or even aluminum tapes. Just copper wire tapes, alligator clips and lots of regular wires. Towards the end, I found that I can even do without alligator clips. Some good old wires are sufficient and less likely to stand in the little kids' jumping feet.

I set up the Scratch program, again a remix of some simple piano program. Ah, at this point, I have to say, I am totally into Scratch. Just to have the many many programs at my finger tips makes me grin.

My scratch remix is at here.

Scratch piano program made for Makey Makey

There are 8 keys, space, up, down, left, right and so on.

See how it works on youTube.

Have to admit, it is not too musical yet.

Let me try it again at another time.  Let's do something musical!
