This video shows you how to make an electromagnet using magnet wire, a ferromagnetic core, and a battery. To view directions for a science project that uses electromagnets, see the “The Strength of an Electromagnet” Project Idea at Science Buddies: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Elec_p035/electricity-electronics/strength-of-an-electromagnet.shtml?from=YouTube The materials to make the electromagnet shown in thisContinue Reading

To avoid this danger, inContinue Reading

First test with the solenoids and compass assembly. The Sketch is incorrect (actual code in arduining web page). A circular sequence of ON and OFF of the solenoids was used. Working to use an instance of the stepper class. Enjoy the music at less.
