This is my remix version of the great Gravitator.
My father was a scientist in the magnetic field and I've always been fascinated by his work.
When I saw the Gravitator, I decided to dive into magnetic levitation and build a unique Christmas present for him.
Looking on the web at some similar projects using an arduino to control the levitation, I came up with an interrupt based PID controller that can be configured and controlled over USB or bluetooth.
I've also developped the host controller that allows to fine tune the levitation.
As I wanted the levitating magnet to go up and down in a controlled way, I've also implemented a simple sine wave generator that interpolate between 2 predefined position.
Here are some small videos showing theBeating Heartcontrolled levitation
You'll find the arduino project here: Levitator
You'll find the Levitator Host application here: LevitatorHost
Some add-ons you might like:Levitating BiplaneLevitating Biplane - smallerLevitating Xmas TreeLevitating HeartLevitating Easter Egg12.6V Power-Bank
Let me kown when you build one and post pictures !!!
Enjoy ;-)
