Code-A-Key Backpack

Have you ever wanted to combine Makey Makey and micro:bit? The Code-a-Key Backpack enables you to do just that! Trigger key presses in your Makey Makey  projects with motion, temperature, light, and sound to unlock a new realm of possibilities!

[INSERT UNBOXING VIDEO]

We at Makey Makey 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!

NOTE: The Code-a-Key Backpack only works with Makey Makey version 1.5 or higher!
