Pikes Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.
The "Mall Map" at Pikes Peak Makerspace is a new system that is currently under construction.
This project still has many interesting hardware and software pieces that need to be designed, and it is not too late to make important contributions.
When finished
The Mall Map will be used to greet and inform members and visitors alike at our physical location at 735 East Pikes Peak Avenue. However, it will also be movable and could be temporarily used at various events like Maker Faires, when those are held again. It will only require power for the display and an Internet connection. The size is approximately xx and the weight is yy. (Moving it shall not require a forklift.)
Behind the scenes
The map, which was originally drawn in Adobe Illustrator by another PPM member, detects mouse click events on that map. It then launches pages from our wiki:
https://wiki.pikespeakmakerspace.org
Remaining Tasks
For a current list of tasks, visit our PPM Trello board (Electronics).
#1 Continually test that the system is understood and useful to users(!)
Decide if the system will be on wheels (should be locking wheels)
Implement a proximity sensor(?)
Keep the source map current
(Keep the wiki pages current, too)
Promote its use.
