Tutorial: How to use DIY Electromagnetic Gun Kit

The electromagnetic gun is a device that uses the principle of electricity to generate magnetic force. It is ideal for physics projects, hobby science or creative applications.

What you need

• DIY Electromagnetic Gun Kit
• Arduino Uno R3
• JST Connections
• 18650 Battery
• Insulated Pliers
• Multimeter

Steps

1. Disassemble the electronic gun delicately to access the internal connectors.
2. Check your Arduino specifications (refer to the datasheet) and connect the appropriate pins to the electronic gun using JST.
3. Connect the 18650 battery to the kit following the provided instruction manual.
4. Write a simple sketch to control the activation of the gun (see code).
5. Upload the sketch to your Arduino and test the function by pressing the appropriate buttons.
6. If everything works well, you could add a switch or a sensor to activate it automatically.
7. Check for unwanted electrical heat (refer to the datasheet).
8. Optimize your project with your preferred accessory from the list below.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(9, HIGH); // Attiva la pistola elettronica
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(9, LOW); // Disattiva la pistola elettronica
}

Mini project

Create a magnetic projectile that attaches to a remote target. Use the kit as part of a game or school experiment.
