Dear friends, today we will build a micro:bit mini Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel is a large-scale wheel-shaped mechanical construction facility, on which is hung on the edge of the wheel is a cabin for passengers to take. Passengers sitting on the Ferris wheel and slowly turning upwards, they can overlook the surrounding scenery.

The common Ferris wheel generally appears in amusement parks (or theme parks) and garden fairs. As a kind of playground motor game, it is collectively called the “Three Treasures of Paradise” together with the roller coaster and the carousel. But the Ferris wheel often exists alone in other occasions, and is usually used as a viewing platform for activities. First, let’s take a look at the micro:bit mini Ferris wheel rotating through a video:https://youtu.be/uSXGVXn9RVA
