Ferris Wheel Automation Project: Design and Development, Schemes and Mind Maps of Computer science

The design and development process of automating a ferris wheel. It details the specifications, initial design considerations, and program development stages, focusing on safety and entertainment. The project aims to create a ferris wheel that starts and stops smoothly, controls lighting effectively, and ensures passenger safety with timed stops for boarding and disembarking. The document also highlights issues encountered during testing and the solutions implemented to improve the ferris wheel's functionality and user experience. This project is a practical application of control systems and automation principles in a recreational setting, providing insights into the challenges and solutions involved in such projects. Useful for students studying mechanical engineering, automation, and control systems, offering a real-world example of engineering design and problem-solving.

Why I chose the Ferris Wheel Mimic

I chose the Ferris wheel mimic as personally, I think entertainment is key in a human's life, and it is necessary. Ferris wheels are a brilliant example of this and I will aim to make this as entertaining and safe as possible. Specification  Button 1 must start the ferris wheel.  Button 1 can detect when to stop the ferris wheel  The Ferris wheel must speed up  The Ferris wheel must smoothly transition between foreword and backward.  Button 2 must control the lights Initial Design

When Testing, I noticed the following issues;  The Wheel would not stop at the stairs  The lights would not transition properly

While Testing, I noticed that everyone needs an opportunity to get off the Ferris wheel, therefore it should stay there for sufficient time for 10 minutes at the start and end. Checks if the steps are on
