Behind the scenes
Our Mall Map requires power for the display and Raspberry Pi, and an optional Internet connection for software updates.
The size is approximately xx, and the weight is yy. (Moving it does not require a forklift.)
The first map, which was originally drawn in Adobe Illustrator, detected mouse clicks and then launched pages from our wiki: https://wiki.pikespeakmakerspace.org
Our current map, a more stylized version of our 'space, accepts button and joystick input from a wired Xbox game controller and loads data from a JSON file on the Pi.
