User questions & answers

Question:	Can I daisy chain the alligator clip ends together to make the wire longer or where can i get longer wire with the right alligator clips for this
Answer:	Yes you can. Or you can make a wire out of aluminum foil, a wet string, or any normal wire whatsoever will work just fine. You could hypothetically buy hookup wire or solid core wire at Radio Shack, but you could also just cut apart any old wire you have in your house.
Question:	How do you "assign" or "explain" what keyboard input the various clips are meant to send? e.g. how do you "tell" the piano app which banana is note c
Answer:	The Makey Makey in fact is an alternative for your keyboard. It depends on the software (the piano program) which key should be touched to play a C. The Makey Makey can emulate a bunch of keys (not all). Suppose your piano program plays a C when you press the space bar on your keyboard. With a Makey Makey you can do the same by 1) connecting your C-banana with the contact point labelled "space bar" on the Makey Makey; 2) connecting the piano player (person) with the contact point labelled "ground" on the Makey Makey (and of course connecting the Makey Makey to your computer). When the player touches the C-banana, the piano program produces a C.
Question:	will this work with a chromebook
Answer:	I havent tried but i think that will work, if your computer works with an external keyboard, maky makey will also work, because it works as a keyboaRdOadkrd to
Question:	hi, do the remote controlled fruits and apples roll well on shag carpet, thnkx
Answer:	The Makey Makey does not control fruits or make them move.
