Take your inventions to the next level by combining the power of Makey Makey with the BBC micro:bit using the Code-a-Key Backpack. This clever add-on lets you trigger Makey Makey key presses with motion, temperature, light, and sound—unlocking a whole new world of creative possibilities.
The Code-a-Key Backpack is designed to seamlessly connect the Makey Makey and the BBC micro:bit (sold separately) without the hassle of messy wiring, breadboards, or complex circuits. It allows the micro:bit to trigger up to 6 key presses and full mouse control on the back of your Makey Makey. Even better, the micro:bit can detect when keys are pressed or the mouse is used, and respond with exciting actions—display animations, play sounds, or even control motors. It’s a simple, elegant way to blend the capabilities of two powerful learning tools into one project.
Whether you’re building interactive art, creative games, or responsive gadgets, the Code-a-Key Backpack makes it easy to merge the Makey Makey’s invention potential with the micro:bit’s sensors and outputs—sparking limitless innovation in your STEM projects.
