A new project done by the Microelectronics Students' Group: Coilgun for Acquisition and Signal Processing.

A coilgun is a linear electric motor that accelerates a ferromagnetic projectile by attracting it to successive coils.
The goal of the project is to implement a coilgun with closed loop control powered by the XMC4500 Relax Kit.

Here is a video on the coilgun closed loop test:


Each coil is fired until the projectile passes the corresponding light sensor. At that point, the next coil is fired.
