D4E1 - Motivational Rehabilitation Using MaKey MaKey - Extension Cords

Because the hospital environment I was working for didn't support a wireless approach, extension cords were added to the box. These serve to connect the controllers to the MaKey MaKey (see main project instructable).

Supplies

  • standard isolated electrical wire
  • alligator clips
  • conductive crimpable end piece (should be compatible with alligator clips used)
  • hook-and-loop cable ties

Putting It Together

  • Cut the wire to the desired length of the extension cord.
  • Add the alligator clip to one side and the end piece to the other
  • Roll the cable into a pretty bundle and fasten with the cable tie for easy storing
  • Have fun making these easy extension cords!
