Comparison to Makey Makey
Resistive sensing vs. capacitive sensing
NO NEED FOR SECOND ALLIGATOR-CABLE!
VS. 
These schematics compare the resistive sensing from makey makey to the CapSense library (needs a high Ohm resistor, on the digital pins). There is a huge difference in the interactivity if the "user" doesn't need to be hooked up to a wire. everybody can interact, multiple people can play at the same time etc..
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
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).
Just a general thought about different interpretations of "low-cost" in the West... in China... and in India?
Makey Makey GO
just now, May 2015, they announced a new product, already heavily hyped online and fastly supported on their kickstarter campaign (please not the address -> Cocoa Beach :-)
This one seems to use CapSense, maybe on an attiny? no open hardware as it seems...
- 1 single Capacitive butten
- detected as keyboard, spacebar press it seems
- magnetic to clip on aligators, or put it on the fridge
- nice and small
- 19$, prize is soso... for only 1 button
- attached to smart phone via the usb-converter plug
Jugaad
We make it as cheap as possible, including capability for local manufacturing. DIL-package, easy available parts, 1 sided PCB design and protoboard design, fancy PCB for collectors and geeks.
Which AVR microcontroller to use?
ATTINY 84
- availability ok, prize starting around 150 IDR (2$), 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$)
- only 4 ADC channels
ATMEGA 328P
- very widely available, prize starting around 220 - 250 IDR (3$), 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!

On Kickstarter since May, delivery until november?
BareConductive Touchboard - £90.00
Based on ATMEGA 32u8 Leonardo, uses capacitive sensing, conductive paint
Seems they use an additional chip for the capacitive sensing, MPR121. Prize ca 1-2$ on the real!
At sparkfun a breakout board is available for 9$.
Nice they don't do any "open-washing". good engineering and in the end... all the code is here:
