Final Product

Sabrina Weigerstorfer

Our final product for this project was a stationary map that will be featured in the foyer of the High School outside of the HS Office. The stationary map is made from a single pane of tempered, clear glass, with a large map of all four levels including the S wing. To create the map we took the original blueprints that we got from the office and edited it in Photoshop to remove all of the names and room numbers from the maps to make it less cluttered. An added feature that we added to make out product stand out as more than a simple map. We added a feature where, if you press a button, the corresponding area on the light will up. We installed 24 lights on four different levels, 24 buttons (separated half on either side), all connected to four Arduinos and a lot of cords. To make the stand, we used 15 printing paper boxes that we got from the printing stations and taped them all together. Then we measured the angle of depression that we wanted the glass to be at and cut out the remaining cardboard boxes to create the slope. As an added precautionary measure, we created a bit of a ledge that covers the bottom of the glass to make sure that the glass does not slide off of the stand and shatter. On the inside we cut holes connecting to the other boxes so we could put the arduino cords through the holes to their intended locations.
