Double-tap Music Scroll With a Makey Makey

MakeyMakey.jpg

I love listening to music when I study but I hate having to

look up to the screen to change or choose a song so I decided I’d get me a little scroll :)

Materials:

· Some tin foil

· Makey Makey kit

· An old CD cover

· Glue

Preps and Connections

Cut out a play, fast-forward and rewind shapes out of

the foil. Glue these onto the back of the CD cover. Take

2 connecting wires and plonk them into the up and down scrolls on the back of the makey makey(the mouse connects).

A Few Little Extra Touches

Use a different colour crocodile clip to connect to

each connecting wire. Upwards is for rewinding and downwards is for fast-forwarding. Use another colour to connect to the click opening on the makey makey and that will be for the play option.

One Last Precaution....

Connect

one clip to the group and the other end to yourself-either by making a little foil bracelet that touches your skin then attaching the other end of the clip or if you have a metal strap watch, connect to that instead.

Plug in and Play :-)
