10/18/2023 Map Stopped Working?
Visit this post for the fix
Here's my large map at 24" by 36" At first when it powered up, only the lights were working and nothing on the OLED display. SO I carefully looked over the wiring and it looked like I missed a ground wire on the RPI. So I added that and it started working. Whew! I was afraid I'd have to pull the OLED housings off and go through all that.
If anyone in the SF Bay Area is looking I have a 2nd large map that just needs some assembly, I have all the parts I'll sell at cost. Mounted sectional on a board, the same frame, RPI and all the OLED's.
I redesigned my button insert to include a flange to cover up any of the rough edges left from drilling the 1/2" hole they go into.
Hi Ron, your map turned out beautifully. Great job.
Let us know what you need for the other unassembled map. Might be a great first project for someone. - Mark
@markyharris I have the print mounted and most of the light bushings installed. The PCB needs a few wires soldered especially the one with the multiplexer chip. Need to mount the map board to the frame and drill a few holes for the buttons and light sensor. Drill some holes for the wires coming from the OLED mount area.
One final pic showing the small one mounted on the wall with some other pics of our travels.
Great Map! I know you put a lot of work into it, but it was worth it.
Thanks for sharing the picture with us. - Mark
