From the project
My Master's thesis, submitted for review. Submitted version is in commit af3c147e
PCB designs are licensed under CERN OHL 1.2, please see LICENSE.md for details.
My personal favourite piece of work during the thesis was making animations of magnetic fields using a magnetics FEA software FEMM. Lua scripts were used to step parameters of the simulation and exporting images of fields strenghts. Finally convert was used to create animations from the images. for example convert -delay 12 -loop 0 magnet.bmp animated.gif` .
