The lights on the GO will dance a little, then settle on Blue.
Blue = Right Click.
2) Close Popup Window (If Any)
Your computer may ask you to install drivers or do other setup. You can click cancel or close the window.
3) Connect your object
Connect the alligator clip from your object to the Plus Sensor
4) Press Play
Tap the Play Button . The GO has now recalibrated itself to accept the object.
5) Play!
Now you can use your clementine to click on things! Tap your clementine and see what happens.
6) Space Out
To switch between "mouse left-click" and "space bar," tap the Gear Button on the Makey Makey GO. This will turn the light Red. Now tapping your clementine will send a "space bar" signal to your computer.
Red light = space bar
Blue light = mouse left-click
Green light = active sensor
]]>If you want to go beyond "left click" and "spacebar", visit makeymakey.com/remap and follow the instructions to change what key command is triggered by the Makey Makey when the light is Red.
"Left click" will always be there when you switch to the Blue light.
Unplugging your GO will reset the keys to "space bar" and "left click".
]]>Press and hold the Play Button
The Sensitive Setting is still calibrating to the specific object you have connected, although with greater sensitivity. Tap the Play Button again to leave the Sensitive Setting.
Say you've got a big pot, and you tap play, and then you tap the pot, but Makey Makey GO can't tell you're touching the pot (the light doesn't turn green). This is a good time to try the sensitive setting.
