By Marco Ventimiglia on July 29, 2021

Lately we see many commercial products that allow you to levitate light objects using a magnetic field. There are already assembled kits, but today we will see how to build a more simplified one at home.

The project uses an Arduino Nano that controls an electromagnet through a power transistor based on the signal received from a hall effect sensor.
