The Maglev Sketch
UPDATED 4/5/23! Download the sketch for the magnetic levitator, 6310_MAGLEV_SP23.zip.
Maglev in Action Videos.
Demonstrating Maglev using PD control (left), PD control with inversion of the optical sensor nonlinearity (middle), and combining a Lead controller with optical-sensor nonlinearity inversion (right). Notice that the high level of noise in the command for the PD controllers eventually distabilizes the "umbrella", but the noise is much lower (but not zero) for lead controller (which is taking much larger steps).
