Executive Summary
Makey Makey is a invention-kit to use everything to be Keyboard. like banana, water, even cat. For this project, we created a MakeyMakey to play with sound. Our Makey Makey uses banana as keyboard to play piano tones. This design is consisted of a main microcontroller, a PCB board, a USB sound card, and an audio player. We use Beaglebone to get the different informations and produce corresponding tones to the audio player. One of human's wrist is mounted by reference ground and human can use either figure to touch bananas to produce different tones. Our Makey Makey will not only use bananas as inputs but also apples, water and everything.

Packaging
If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.

Installation Instructions

 * MakeyMakey github link github path as a link like this to the read-only git site: git@github.com:guoDebby/MakeyMakey.git.
 * MakeyMakey using Csound to produce sound, to install Csound for Python: apt-get install python-csnd

Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.
 * Be sure your README.md is includes an up-to-date and clear description of your project so that someone who comes across you git repository can quickly learn what you did and how they can reproduce it.
 * Include a Makefile for you code.
 * Include any additional packages installed via apt-get.
 * Include kernel mods.
 * If there is extra hardware needed, include links to where it can be obtained.

User Instructions
Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

When everything is installed, we can play with Makey, Firstly connect the USB sound and the audio player to beaglebone. Then connect the 7 input wires into 7 bananas, and wire the reference ground to one of your wrist. Use your hand to touch bananas to play sound!

Highlights
Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo.

Theory of Operation
Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.

Work Breakdown
-PCB -GPIO read in -Csound play sound

List the major tasks in your project and who did what.

Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.

Future Work
