Abstract

This article presents an open-source device illustrating the well-known magnetic levitation experiment. The uniqueness of this particular device lies in its exceptionally small dimensions, affordability and availability, which makes it a perfect design for take-home experiments for education but it can also serve as a referential design for testing various control algorithms in research. In addition, this paper provides a comprehensive hardware design for reproducibility along with the detailed derivation of the mathematical model, system identification and validation. Moreover, the introduced hardware comes with an easy-to-use open-source application programming interface in C/C++ for the Arduino IDE, Simulink and CircuitPython. REXYGEN, another environment similar to Simulink, had also been used to demonstrate the capabilities of the MagnetoShield.
