Adaptive Lego Lideo Game Controller

Hello everybody, this is the instructable for my Lego technic adaptive controller that I have made. It is super simple to make and when finished has up to four completely customizable buttons, I tried to design a controller that could be used with minimal movement and still have good outputs. The first video is an explanation of how the controller works, and the second video is a demo of the controller.

Here are some instructions on how to remap your Makey Makey

 Above is a video showing how to assemble the Lego pieces. The gold wrap that is around some of the pieces is the copper tape used to make it conductive.

These videos are going to show you how to wire up your controller and make sure that the conductive parts are working properly. 

Make sure not to use too much copper tape because it has messed up the conductive pieces in the past.

 This video is going to show you how to make the board that you were going to be mounting the entire controller on to. I used hot glue to make the feet on the bottom but you can use any rubber or plastic you like.

Once you have both the controller, and the board made, put them both together, and you have a working controller!!!
