Plush Game Controller with Flora & Conductive Fabric

Make an oversize plush game controller that actually works! Use conductive fabric and a Flora board to stitch up a capacitive touch sensing circuit. The controller acts like a computer keyboard, allowing you to play all your favorite old school games on emulator sites online. Becky Stern shows you how to put it all together.
This is an all-sew project with no batteries, making it great for beginners and even kids to try. Build your own: learn.adafruit....

Quisiera saber la composición y construcción de la tela conductiva

[@lanceseidman]

I am never NOT amazed by her work. I want to make these so bad. I actually learned to sew from these videos.

[@youfrancis]

I think it's pretty safe to say: Becky Stern is a genius. The woman is a fountain of creativity. Also, I love that scissors @4:19.

[@TheStonedSamurai]

-cries- why haven't found this channel sooner. IT IS AWESOME! D:

[@dominickmiller4089]

and when you`re done you can unplug it and take a nap (yawn) or snuggle with that special someone who is also a geek we are geeks and we are proud :)

[@adafruit]

Sure!

[@adafruit]

Yes, but it's not as small or flat as Flora! Similar code, and same 32u4 microcontroller, though.

[@LuckyKappa25]

If you want to do more buttons, do you have to attach more Flora?

[@H4ppyo]

Hi, is it possible to have more than 8 buttons like say 10? Or is there a restriction with the Flora?

[@gammalikker]

+Sam W i dont tink so maby whit a normal arduino or an arduino mega

[@123456789robbie]

also, the mayey-makey doesn't use capsense, does it?

[@adamklein5176]

How many buttons can be pushed at the same time and detected?

[@CharissaOngTy]

hey adafruit, I have recently purchased an adafruit gemma. Do you think I could use it to do something like this too? Discovered that it doesn't have a serial port and was pretty bummed to read about how it won't be able to send and receive signals as it always had to be bootloaded. help! I don't want my money to go to waste. Is there a plugin that I could download to enable the serial port?

[@Doomtime]

Kotaku brought me here. Amazing work. Subbed!

[@psovegeta]

Man and here I thought I was slick when I made my own DDR dance pad out of tin foil, ply wood and plexi glass.

[@ExplosivoFueled]

You need to sell these for the sewing disabled!

[@BungerBugSnax]

Does it have to be big?

[@SupaBlank]

Great now i want to make a big plush Gameboy with a flexible OLED screen.

[@noncanadian]

is this good for melee?

[@TheDjMadScientist]

Well, I have my first project for when I move to my new place!

[@adafruit]

Thanks! =]

[@aresinnet]

I think I would like this as a pillow on my bed.

[@naisanza]

I want to buy one

[@ImaginationToForm]

so much for using the recliner.

[@artemismeow]

Ian scourge sure they can, but it only takes 8 inputs and no analog joystick inputs. But an 8 input xbox compatible should be possible just use an old usb xbox controller instead

[@yeninja]

Where do you get a flora?

[@gammalikker]

[@arremm4978]

This would have been handy to know about when I was teaching my nephiew how to use a hacked xbox.

[@LordFawful13]

couldn't you have used a makimaki?

[@MATAM29]

MaKey MaKey* and it didn't exist before.

[@docfix8137]

I'm so confused!!!!!

[@Tomajdafrytrix]

WOW :O great!!

[@artemismeow]

Actually it doesn't matter if you do more than 8 inputs sorry :)

[@Luffy-ib7gy]

Can I play fifa with that

[@MrLeonLuffy]

Highly addictive? Doesn't she mean highly unresponsive?

[@RoseMarieLeo]

[@jacksonmatt1593]

[@LovelyMarcy7464]
