Ever since the first version of the Makey Makey there have been expansion headers on the back of the board. If you have your Makey Makey handy, go ahead and flip the board over and take a look. The headers are those black rectangle things that stick out with holes in them. Many people overlook them or don’t even realize they are there, let alone learn how to use them to maximize the potential of their Makey Makey! Makey Makey Backpacks are expansion boards that are designed to make it easy for everyone to use Makey Makey to its full potential and expand their invention toolbox! Backpacks plug into the black headers on the back of the Makey Makey board, giving you access to all of those input keys that sometimes get overlooked. Now -- in addition to the 6 inputs on the front -- the 12 inputs on the back of the board can be easily connected into your project with alligator-friendly “gator bites.” Player 2 Backpack Ever wanted to add a second player?
