All you need to start experimenting with CoilPad – our thinnest magnetic sticker actuator at just 0.1mm! Add organic motion, heat, sound, or sensing to your projects with this flexible, stick-anywhere coil.
Go from unboxing to testing in minutes. Just connect the modules with simple soldering and power up the CodeCell — no programming required. Use your phone via the MicroLink app, to control motion angle and speed. Optionally, customize the code using the Arduino IDE to make your project interactive with built-in light and proximity sensors, or even add wireless control.
CoilPad can attract and repel magnets by generating a magnetic field. However, the field it creates is much weaker than the magnetic field of a magnet. As a result, the forces generated are primarily due to the magnet. Unfortunately, this means two CoilPads cannot attract or repel each other.
This depends on the magnet you're using and the actuation distance you're trying to achieve, but it typically peaks at 25Hz.
Want to Make It Vibrate? To do that, you can’t power it directly through the CodeCell’s GPIO pins. You’ll need to drive it with transistors - like an H-Bridge - to reverse polarity and control its position. This usually requires bulky circuitry, but our compact DriveCell module makes it easy to use and is only 0.8 cm wide!
Think of the CodeCell as the brain, sending PWM signals to tell the DriveCell exactly what to do.
Both CodeCell and DriveCell features standard 2.54mm pitch pins which are castellated - This makes it super easy to solder together, with wires or pin-headers!
This Pack is perfect for anyone curious about electronics! It comes with an easy to use App and examples, making it easier to get started. Since soldering is required, we recommend ensuring that soldering is done under proper adult supervision and guidance for children under 12. Please also note that the package includes small parts, like screws, so care should be taken when handling them.
