# Helmholtz Cage Control Software
|
|
|
|
This software is used to control the magnetic field test bench at the Institute for Space Systems (IRS) at
|
|
the University of Stuttgart. The test bench consists of three Helmholtz coil pairs, one in each spatial axis.
|
|
The amount of current flowing through these coils is controlled by two PS2000B power supply units.
|
|
The polarity is switched by a set of relays that are controller by an Arduino Uno.
|
|
|
|
