Raspberry Pi Electromagnet Control: I'm looking for guidance on how to use a Raspberry Pi to create and operate an electromagnet efficiently. Using orders from the Raspberry Pi, I want the electromagnet to be able to attract and repel specific metallic items. I would be grateful for any advice on the necessary hardware and how to connect it to the Raspberry Pi.
You might want to rethink that as it's not how magetism works.
- Magnets generally only affect ferrous metals. That's a lot of trash it won't affect.
- They can pull but not push. Unless:
- The object they're acting on is also magnitised and with the oposite polarity.
- A linear induction motor might be able to both "attract and repel"* but I'd expect that to be more complex than a simple electromagnet.
