Well, some bits arrived in the post - wires and switches. This is basically everything I need, I think, to take human input and map that via MakeyMakey to functions in Acid-Py on the, erm, Pi.
I quickly hooked at some of the 'push to make' switches to MakeyMakey, using the clips. Once I have a prototype I need to worry about soldering but for now I need to be able to connect/move things about freely.
So with the basics proved, I've updated the software on-board MakeyMakey to map every available input (18 in total, afaik) to the keys I've laid out in a spreadsheet which shows what they are going to do in the software that will be running on the Raspberry Pi.
I tested each input quickly on the PC, so far so good. I didn't test every switch though, yet! The process of having the PC correctly recognize the MakeyMakey, get the Arduino software working, then patch/upload updated software was a little interesting; something for a dedicated post sometime.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics!
