 What do you do if you've got two makey makeys because they use the same set of keys? Well, the answer is that you head on over to the makey makey website and you remap them. So stick around because in this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to do exactly that. We're going to jump onto the website and we're going to plug in the makey makey. I'll show you how to do that. We're going to remap the keys on the back. All this coming your way. Hello world surfing scratcher here.

But hey, let's go figure out how to remap these keys on the makey makey. Just got my two makey makeys here and these two makey makeys are going to contribute to a clock that I'm making and I need something like 24 buttons minimum on this clock. So I need two makey makeys and I'm going to be using the buttons on the back of the makey makey. And what I'm going to do is remap the buttons on each makey makey except for the WASDFG on one of them. Now there are six slots on either side. So 12 slots per makey makey. Yeah, there are some more buttons on the front, but I'm not going to be using those. Let's jump back over to the screen and see how we can remap our makey makey for the hours. All right. So the first thing you want to do is head over to Google and type in makey makey key remapping and jump on over to the makey makey website. Cool. Here we are. So we're on the remap page and we need to check your device. So we're going to be remapping the makey makey classic today. Then we just need to follow through the instructions. So first check to make sure that we have version 1.2. So you can check that by flipping over your makey makey and just checking next to the power source there. I've got version 1.4c. You need to unplug your makey makey from the computer to begin. It's very important. Okay, you're going to need two alligator cables to help you with this first step. So if we flip over the makey makey, you'll need to take one alligator cable and connect the up and down arrows. Then you'll need to grab your other alligator cable and connect the left and right arrows. Once you have your alligator cables in position, you can then power the makey makey by plugging it into your power source computer. Okay, so when you plug the makey makey back into the computer, you'll notice that all the lights on the makey makey are powered up. Here on the screen, you'll see that the makey makey has been detected and now it's instructing us to remove the clips. So go ahead and remove the alligator cables now. So now what you'll need to do is use the makey makey to navigate and remap the keys. You'll see here on the screen, we've got a yellow highlight on the key that we're actually on. Over here, if I pick up the makey makey and I use one hand to touch the ground and I use the other hand to maneuver with the keys, you'll see that I can move that highlight onto the screen. Now we want to focus on the keys here on the back, so WASDFG and all these mouse related ones as well. Now I'm going to be using this makey makey for the hours of the clock. So I'm going to be using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for WASDFG and I'm going to be using 7, 8, 9, 0, U and Y for the other side and all the mouse functions. I'll just demonstrate how you can do that now. So currently on the screen, you'll see that we've got the W selected. Just going to move my hours to the side there. Cool, so if I'm happy with that, then I can click the W. You'll see here on the screen that the W has been highlighted, so I no longer want that W. I need to move around to find the key that I want. And for that W position, I want the number one. So I'm going to head over and find the number one on the keyboard on the screen. There we go. Once I'm happy with that, I'm going to press the click on the makey makey. Remember, hold the ground, use the other hand to press the click. And there we go. You'll see on the screen that I've just remapped the W spot to the number one. Now I'm going to press the right arrow to head to the next spot. I'm going to press click and the same thing. I'm going to head down and find the number two. Press click and then we go, I've just remapped it. I'd go ahead and do this for all the buttons. I'm going to speed this up so you don't have to see it. So you see here on the screen that I managed to remap all my keys to the ones that I've desired. The last thing that we need to do on the makey makey is hit the down key and then hit save. It's going to ask us to confirm we need to move over to the yes and then press click. Success. Then you can close this window. If you want to go through and restore all your key remappings, you'll need to take the steps at the beginning of this video where you disconnect your makey making and reconnect all the alligator cables and repeat the process. There is a handy restore button that will reset it back to its original settings. Now let's jump over to scratch. Okay, so I've just got the scratch project open up here and I've just got some when the key pressed half blocks. I've got six of them to reflect the six buttons on the back of the makey makey. I'm only going to be focusing on the right side, all the previous mouse functions. I've got 7, 8, 9, 0, U and Y. All I've done is go ahead and associate a sound with each and I just went into sounds and grabbed a surprise sound. Nice and simple. What I want to do for you now is just demonstrate that they all work. So if I go over to the makey makey and I get the Y, that is the seven. That would be the one at the top. I'm going to touch that myself and then I'm going to connect with the ground and I should hear a meow sound. There we go. If I go and get the next cable, which can be a little bit tricky to get, using some jumper cables, then that would be useful because they could be color coded. So I'm going to hold that and now I should hear a guitar sound. Boom. Great. There's my ringtone for the U. And I think that was the sax sound with the zero. And the last one I'm thinking is the snare beatbox. All right. There you go. That is how you remap keys on the makey makey. Time for a scratchy question.
