Day 7: Crashing. Makey Makey music keyboard

9:56 PM Xun 0 Comments

After about 6 days of working with Makey Makey, tinkering with Arduino and buying more and more electronic wires, switches, adapters, sensors, bridges, buzzers, now I sleep with my head of full of electronics.

Last night I could hardly slept, excited about the all the things I could possibly do with all those buttons, pins and wires.

Today I was sleep-walking, full of excuses of how I can excuse myself for a day. A day without makey makey or whatever.

I almost did. However a little voice also kept telling myself: how could I be sure tomorrow I won't be making more excuses and basically just throwing up the towel?

So I instead took upon an easy project. Making a music keyboard of sort using Makey Makey. The process is easy. I cut off a rectangle strip from my many amazon delivery box, taped long strips of almunimum foil for different keys, each with a different note. In the end I have a keyboard of 12 keys.

Time to play.



I spent the rest of the night binge-watching YouTube on how-tos and life hacks, including making a fire with lemon.
