Create your own ShrimpKey, inspired by Makey Makey and developed with a Shrimp (http://www.shrimping.it).

See http://bit.ly/17V8SfT for a link to Vimeo (video) and to GitHub (design and sourcecode).

If you want to Twitter about it, please do. Please use #ShrimpKey as tag.
If you're blogging about it, please let me know on Twitter: @fromScratchEd

Looks really cool! It would be nice to have some more detailed instructions on how to make the ShrimpKey. Also, how does this compare to the MakeyMakey pricewise? Thanks!

The design is in the Layout-folder on GitHub (http://bit.ly/14n9zKY).
The components can be ordered from i.e. Tayda (except for the 3.6V 0,5W Zenerdiodes).
Total costs: < 10 USD (if bought from Tayda and not using express shipping).

I've uploaded a new ReadMe (in the Layout-folder) with partno. and building instructions.
If you get the stripboard I'm using you can follow my design exactly.

My e-mailaddress is on GitHub, please contact me if you have other questions.

At the moment I'm trying to extend the number of pins with one or more shift registers.
I'll keep you posted.

Why not just use your keyboard?

And why not use Picoboard?

Because the ShrimpKey is like a MakeyMakey and can't be compaired to a Picoboard.
