My current repulsion/repulsion setup barely works because the permanent magnet snaps up to the electromagnet's magnetic housing (as in the outer housing of the electromagnet is magnetic). Thus, when I have an attraction/repulsion setup with my electromagnets, my permanent magnet would tend to...

I added some visuals. @Hesch : I'm not sure what you mean by digital/analog. I'm using an absolute rotary encoder that outputs an analog voltage if that's what you're asking. I acquire it's data using a DAQ and set the electromagnet voltages via a LabVIEW-controlled power supply. @donpacino ...

Overview I'm trying to levitate a constrained permanent magnet with 2 electromagnets. I'm having trouble conceptualizing the control system for such an operation. Setup The permanent magnet is fixed onto a horizontal pendulum and is repelled by an electromagnet above and repelled by an...
