Magnetic levitation with PID control

By aeinstein

Print this Project

PID control (Proportional, Integral and Derivative control) is a widely used control algorithm. It can be used to control position of an object, temperature of an oven, speed of a car and so on. Here we are using it to control the position of a magnet in air.

This is a view of the magnet (the white disk in air) floating stably.

Hi Aeinstein

I think this experiment is amazing! I am currently trying to build an repulsion based levitation machine using arduino and would really appreciate any help you could give me. Is there anyway that you could please send the electronic schematics and arduino code to jwc_miller@hotmail.com?

Thank you very much!

Hi Aeinstein

Impressive job here. I’m interested in building something similar. Would you mind sending me the code/schematics to your levitating magnet project to peter.worcester97@gmail.com?

Thanks
Justin

Hi, Can You send me code and schematics of this project? dzastiss@gmail.com

Could you please send schematic and PID code to kuromit154@gmail.com if possible?
Thanks so much
Brandon

Could you provide the code and schematic for this? I’m working on a project in school and I just need a little nudge in the right direction to get it working. I have most of the parts already. Thanks in advance! bqkp1995@gmail.com

Could you provide the code and svchematic for this? i have another schematic but i am noop in code so i didnt now how to start PID code. mitja.kobler@gmail.com
Thanks so much
