Overview
This paper craft Makey is perfect for setting up at your maker faire booth or any event! we can make this completelyout of card stock or card board! Connect a micro servo to enable waving action to greet an audience!
The Circuit Playground Express drives the micro servo and is activated by two on board push buttons. Or useMakeCode to activate with one of the many sensors on board like light, sound, temperature and even motion!

WebUSB Downloading
MakeCode can download code direct to your Circuit Playground Express with the Chrome web browser by followingthis guide (https://adafru.it/CLO).
You can then open the project code here: https://makecode.com/_2dMR5sKapXpM (https://adafru.it/BfP)
This means code edit will upload directly to the Circuit Playground Express without the need to drag and drop file ontoit!
Follow the instruction to set up your board and you'll be able to quickly send code to Circuit Playground Express!

Assemble
Cut Shapes
Download and cut the parts out with scissors or use a
cutting machine. The svg files are arranged in layers, so
its easy to set up!

Peel Parts
We used white card stock as the outline. Chip board or
cardboard is used a the backing. This will give us a
sturdy support structure to hold the micro servo.

Assemble layers
Lay the cardboard / chipboard on a flat surface. We used a stick of glue to adhere the white card stock over thechipboard and then adhered the red parts on top. Make sure to add enough glue to the corners to prevent them fromlifting.

Prep Arm
We designed the waving arm as part of the body to limit
the amount of small pieces we need to cut. So, we'll
need to detach it off the body after the glue dries.
Use sharp scissors to cut along the shape of Makey's
body.
Build paper standoffs

Cut 10mm x 50mm strip of cardboard / chipboard. Use an accordian fold, simple zigzag folds, make the fold about 7-8mm in width.
Next we'll need to and holes to our standoffs. Use the servos included M2 screws to carefully drill a hole on the foldedchipboard.
Glue Standoffs
We used super glue to adhere our standoffs to the
backside of Makey.
First align the arm and mark were the servo will pivot
the arm for optimal wave action.
While we wait for the standoffs to dry, we'll continue
with attaching the servo horn to the arm.
Arm Servo Horn
We can use the included screws to attach the servo horn. Mark the two mounting holes by pressing into the cardboard.
Next, we'll cut another strip of chipboard / cardboard 10mm x 30mm long, accordion fold, and then super glue thesestand off on the marked spot on the arm.

Allow the glue to dry before mounting the servo horn.
Body stand
To support Makey's body and servo, we'll need to build
a stand to hold it up.
Cut a triangle piece that measures about 100mm x
70mm x 110mm long. Fold the 70mm portion to 10mm
and then add drops of glue.
Attach the folded part of the support to the leg opposite
of the servo standoff.

Mount Servo
Make sure the standoffs are dry before attaching the
servo. We can use M2x8mm long screws to mount the
servo.
Position the servo so the gear is pointing toward the
front of Makey. Fasten the screw until the servo a tight
against Makey's body.
Stand the Makey and test the body support can hold the
up the body with the servo attached. If Makey flops
over, add a slight slope to the bottom part of the
triangle.

Box assemble
Cut out the box design and assemble the folds. The Circuit Playground Express mounts to the top of the box withfour M3 x 6mm Screws and M3 brass male-female standoffs. The battery sits inside the box with the wires routingthrough the port on the side.
Circuit Playground Express
We used alligator clips to connect the pins but soldering would be fine. You can rout the wires for theCircuitPlayground Express through the center of the mounting holes for the Circuit playground Express.
Attach Arm
Attach the servo horn and test the close position. Adjust
the horn to get the waving at the right position.
If the body move while waving, check the stand support
and make adjustments to the fold.
That's it!
You can adjust the code to activate when any of the other sensors are triggered or evenautomate it!
