New gizmo: MakeyMakey
I recently supported the Kickstarter campaign for the MakeyMakey, and it just arrived in the mail.
Just like the tutorials showed, it’s ridiculously easy to setup: Plug it in over USB, skip the driver install, and start goofing around. The first thing I did was turn some flowers my wife put on my table into a drum-kit:
Next I connected it to my wife, so whenever we’d touch we’d hear cymbals.
Later, I made the obligatory banana-piano. Worked great.
Not sure what I’m going to do with it… but I’m sure it’ll be awesome.
