Popis: A novel reference design for an air levitation system to teach control engineering and mechatronics is introduced. The device is built as a swappable and compact extension shield for Arduino embedded microcontroller prototyping boards. The fully documented hardware design uses off-the-shelf electronic components and 3D printed mechanical parts to encourage easy and low-cost replication with editable design files provided online. The open source software includes an application programming interface for the Arduino IDE, MATLAB and Simulink. The examples included with the software demonstrate possibilities for typical classroom use.
