A Switch With Makey Makey That Says Who Is at the Door.
Materials:
4 pieces of cardboard to fold in 1/2
Foil
4 rubber bands
Paper to make labels
1/8" audio cable to run from laptop to speaker in office.
Fold Cardboard in Order to Make a Switch.
I cutout square pieces from a shipping box and folded them in 1/2.
Tape 1 Piece of Foil to the Top & 1 to the Bottom.
After we connect alligator clips to the top & bottom, touching the top & bottom foil will complete the circuit.
Place a Rubber Band Around the Folded Cardboard Toward the Back for Support
This will keep the switch tightly constructed.
Label Each Switch to Your Liking.
Connect Alligator Clips to Your Switches and Makey Makey
Attach 1 alligator clip to 1 side for the command and the other side for the ground. When you press the switches together it will compete the circuit and make the sound. I you don't have enough alligator clips you can use any conductive wire as shown above.
Create Your Sound in Scratch for Each Switch.
Drag 4 "When ____ is pressed" from from events and adjust the ____ to which part of Makey Makey you choose to use.
Drag 4 "Play Sound _____ Until Done" to right under the event.
​Attach Makey Makey to Laptop (if Not Already Done) and Tape to Wall
Run 1/8" Audio Cable (with Adapter If Needed) to Speaker in Other Room
