As it happens, building a repulsive magnetic levitation platform from scratch with minimal knowledge on the subject beforehand makes things quite difficult...
The goal of this project was to replicate the performance of the cheap, off-the-shelf magnetic levitation platforms, but with a twist. Rather than using an analog circuit to control the magnet, I would use a digital one. This should give me way more knobs to turn and, if I could get it working, would mean I have so much more freedom to determine exactly how and where I want the magnet to float.
Unfortunately, I never did get it working well enough to see how that theory stood up. But I did still make some magnets dance in some fun ways! Plus I learned a lot along the way, and isn't that what it's all about?!
