Hummingbird Project -- Ferris Wheel

This last project was to use hummingbird to program a robot that included lights, sound, and movement. I chose to make a ferris wheel. I started by gluing together a bunch of wooden dowels to create a structure for the wheel.  I attached it to a motor and programed it to a speed I liked using the Create Lab software program.  Then i added 5 colors of lights and programmed them to turn on at different intervals and turn off kind of blinking like a christmas tree.  I used a distance sensor to motion activate into to turn it on and added an audio file that I found in the program for the sound factor.
This is what my sequence looked like in the end:



Here is a video of the final product:
