  • Abstract
    This work presents a low-cost magnetic levitation system that can be very easily built by undergraduate or master degree students, in order to learn several control and electronics topics. The whole design process proposed in the classroom, and the resulting electronics circuits are described. Three different approaches to implement the control system are shown: analog, digital with microcontroller, and digital with FPGA.
