Hi!

Turning the magnet on/off should be relatively easy, as long as you have a device that supports connecting CAN devices to your computer through USB.

Instructions on Ubuntu: [FluxGrip: Quickstart Guide](https://forum.zubax.com/t/fluxgrip-quickstart-guide/2335)  
Instructions on Windows: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePTtF7so8Ec](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePTtF7so8Ec)

(If you don’t have such a device, you can use CanFace1 and a [CAN bus splitter](https://shop.zubax.com/collections/cables-connectors/products/can-bus-splitter))

If you’re planning to use an STM32 to control the magnet, this will require implementing Cyphal/CAN driver, so this will take a bit longer. If you want I can try to help with that too.

BTW are you using ROS?

Good one
