  1. Testing ferrofluid as a magnet lubricant

    One of the struggles in using the XY PCB linear motor to position magnets is that the force is quite low compared to the friction, and so it is difficult to make small precise movements, due to the "stiction". In other words, the static friction i...

  2. Linear Magnet XY Demo Gets a Nice Box

    I was cleaning out the lab and came across this little demo -- as a pile of parts in a cardboard box. I decided it deserved a proper home, so I ordered a project box and had a nice time assembling everything into it.

  3. Zencan Demo/Walkthrough

    Live demo for using Zencan to link an IO board with a joystick and a stepper controller board via CAN bus using CANOpen protocol See also: https://jeffmcbride.net/blog/2025/06/05/introducing-zencan/

  4. Acoustic Array Direction Finder

    Using a microphone array and beamforming on an STM32H7 to locate the direction of a noise source Code: https://github.com/mcbridejc/acoustic-array-tools

  5. Gauss Speedway Intro

    The original Gauss Speedway project video, with the earlier revision of the board.

  6. Installing tiny magnets into 3D printed cars

    Instructions for building gauss speedway cars

  7. Acoustic Levitator

    Using a pair of ultrasonic transducers to levitate tiny pieces of foam

  8. course_25magnets_2slides

    Moving two slides with 25 3.175mm magnets.

  9. XY Magnet Array Actuation Test

    First testing of a 5x5 1/8" magnet array on the finer pitch PCB with X and Y linear actuators. I'm using the electronics on a Guass Speedway to drive it, which means I can only control a single axis at a time at the moment. It can (just barely in ...

  10. PyrolyticCarbonSheets

    Trying out some carbon sheets for their diagmagnetic properties. These are both of dubious provenance, and I suspect that at least in the case of the thick sheet, it is plain rather than pyrolytic graphite. I'm not able to see any sign of clear la...

  11. Magnet Stepper Demo PCB

    When showing people the Gauss Speedway, sometimes they ask how it works. I made this tiny, manually controlled version with LEDs to demonstrate. The lit arrows show which traces are active, and which direction the current is flowing. Each butt...

  12. Gauss Speedway Rev 3 - White/Green Train

    Quick video of the final version of Gauss Speedway, in black. I've been making a bunch more cars too, so I had more than usual on hand.
