The Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) "Mall Map" is a completely original and entertaining kiosk developed by many of our members.
We use it to inform both members and visitors about the equipment we offer at PPM.
Additionally, it is movable and can be temporarily used at various events.
Both members and visitors are welcome to check it out while at PPM.
(735 East Pikes Peak Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado)
The code and documentation is under version control
on GitHub: https://github.com/PikesPeakMakerspace/welcome-display
Ongoing Tasks
Volunteers are needed
- Help keep the content current.
- Continually test that the system is understood and useful to users.

Behind the Scenes
- Our Mall Map requires power for the large display and Raspberry Pi.
- It uses an optional Internet connection for software updates.
- It is a bit tall and heavy. (But moving it does not require a forklift, at least.)
- The first map, which was originally built in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign, detected mouse clicks, and then launched pages from our wiki
- Our current map, a more stylized version of our 'space, accepts button and joystick input from a wired Xbox game controller and then loads data from a JSON file on the Raspberry Pi.
- An Arduino controls the lights of the color-coordinated upper display. This laser-engraved panel reinforces the color of the selected tool area! (See our "After" pic in the Picture Gallery.)
Original Contributors
Sixteen PPM members contributed
- Ben S, Chris M, Chris S, Drew J, Greg B, Joey C, John N, Les F, Lisa M, Marvin H, Mathew P, Nate R, Pavan D, Ross H, Trevor B, and Warren J made this project successful.
