Get ready for your New Year's Party with our DIY Party Pack!
Have you ever thought of combining Makey Makey and the BBC micro:bit? The Code-a-Key Backpack enables you to do just that! The Code-a-Key Backpack is an adapter board to connect the micro:bit to Makey Makey and gives micro:bit control of the Makey Makey key and mouse pins on the back of the Makey Makey board. Trigger key presses in your Makey Makey projects with motion, temperature, light, sound, and so much more to unlock a new realm of invention possibilities!
Sometimes pressing a button is just too much! What if you could use light to control your mouse clicks, press a key or better yet… make music on your computer! Using the Code-a-Key backpack with the micro:bit, we can do just that… build a flashlight piano!
We designed and built the Code-a-Key backpack to combine the strengths of both the Makey Makey and the BBC mico:bit (V1 or V2) into your projects in a simple and elegant way. No wad of wires, breadboarding (unless you want to!), or complicated circuits. The Code-a-Key Backpack enables the micro:bit to trigger up to 6 keypresses and full mouse control on the back of your Makey Makey. On top of that, the micro:bit can read if you have pressed a key or used the mouse and respond in any number of different ways… display an image on its display, play a sound, or even control a servo motor. Elevate your inventions with the Code-a-Key backpack!
