Prototype

Here is the first prototype of the MakeyMakey footpad

I used long bolts with nuts and washers on either side of the top board
so that the angle could be easily adjusted

I also put in slots for the two buttons so that they could be adjusted up or down
for optimal configuration.

I used non-slip pads for the bottom to help hold the foot pad in place

here is a side shot of the foot pad with the MakeyMakey connected

another shot showing of the awesomeness that is a MakeyMakey


This prototype was put together to help find the best placement of the buttons and best angle
for playing The next step is to add another button and then after some testing we are going to
decide if the pad needs to be split into two buttons on two pads or four buttons on one pad.
