Building this project took me to a whole new learning experience, starting from experimenting with the characteristics of the messy ferrofluid, assembling the XY plotter from scratch, building the enclosure and glass display, mapping co-ordinates received from the camera sensor to the stepper motors, and finally testing and putting everything together. Along the process, came several issues. One of the main issues I had was with the electromagnets. I wanted the user to observe the transition of the ferrofluid from liquid to spikes. Using an electromagnet, the on\/off control is possible. Several electromagnets I purchased were not generating the pull intensity needed to create the spikes.<\/span><\/p>\n
