Our Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) "Mall Map" is used to welcome and inform members and visitors alike at our physical location of 735 East Pikes Peak Avenue.
However, it is also movable and can be temporarily used at various events like Maker Faires.
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.
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 our Mall Map successful.
Our code is under version control on GitHub: https://github.com/PikesPeakMakerspace/welcome-display
Ongoing Tasks
- Decide if the system will be on wheels (should be locking wheels)
- Continually test that the system is understood and useful to users(!)
- Implement a proximity sensor(?)
- Keep the source map current
- Keep the wiki pages current, too
- Promote its use, both at PPM and at outside events.
