Quick Overview

A great general purpose controller for all kinds of interactive projects.



The Make Controller Kit is an open source hardware platform for projects requiring high performance control/feedback, connectivity, and ease of use. It can be programmed and run autonomously or used as a peripheral to desktop/laptop applications via the popular OSC protocol.

The Make Controller is supported by great open source software tools. mcbuilder is a simple development environment that contains everything needed to write programs for the Make Controller, all in a single convenient package. mchelper is a configuration program that makes it easy to get up and running with the Make Controller.

If you don't need the additional input/output protection & screw terminals offered by the Application Board, consider the Interface Board which is a bit smaller and brings more I/O lines out from the Controller Board. It works with all the same software as the standard Controller Kit.

What's in the Box?
The Make Controller Kit comes fully assembled with a Make Controller Board and Application Board. It can be minimally powered over USB - you'll need a mini USB cable for Application Board v2.0 and a standard USB cable for Application Board v1.0. These can both be purchased separately - see the related products to the left.
