Prototype using Arduino, QTouch and Coconuts
A jugaad ultra low-cost clone to the Makey Makey, but based on QTouchADC sensing, local manufacturing and coconuts

Comparison to Makey Makey

Resistive sensing vs. capacitive sensing

NO NEED FOR SECOND ALLIGATOR-CABLE!

Makey-makey-how-it-works.jpg

By using the QTouch ADC method, the analog pins of the microcontroller can be turned into capacitive sensor, without the need of any external circuitry.

Low-Cost

Let's see what we can make/produce in India...

The Makey Makey kit incldudes, the board, some alligator clips, USB cable and a booklet, cost 49$, or 3'500 IDR. Far too much for many schools in india or worldwide.

We are aiming at Bill of Materials prize of approx 3$ for small scale production (5-25pieces). can be reduced to 1.6 - 2$ for large production series (1000 pieces).

Jugaad

We make it as cheap as possible, including capability for local manufacturing. DIL-package, easy available parts, 1 sided PCB design and protoboard design, fancy PCB for collectors and geeks.

Which AVR microcontroller to use?

ATMEGA 328P

  • very widely available, prize starting around 220 - 250 IDR (3$), 3.48 from Mouser goes to 1.82 if you buy 1000.
  • The smd chip has 8 ADC channels, but the DIL seems to only have 6 ADC channel on Port C, ADC0 - ADC5
  • other extra pins for doing stuff

Download ATMEGA328 datasheet

ATMEGA 32u4, same as leonardo or the makey makye

  • only smd package
  • High prize, 6.32$ from Mouser
  • Hardware USB support!

ATTINY 84

  • availability ok, prize starting around 150 IDR (2$), 1.50$ from Mouser, goes to 0.83 if you buy 1000.
  • 8 ADC channels

What's the difference beetween attiny84A and attiny84 or Attiny84V (Low Power and expensive?) or Attiny841 (new edition of attiny84 or attiny84A)?

ATTINY 25/45/85

  • availability ok, prize starting around 85 IDR (1.20$)
  • only 4 ADC channels

Questions and Considerations

Vendor ID ?

What about this vendor ID. Does anyma have one?
