A few weeks back, I had made a Mechanical 7 Segment Display that uses electromagnets to push the segments. I received so many comments and suggestions that I had to make an improved version of it. So, thank you, everyone!
In this video, I will try to make a few variations of the coils on a PCB in KiCad using a Python script and then test them to see if they can be replaced with regular electromagnets.

All I can say is...WOW! This is extremely impressive work!
that's awesome! Looking forward to see your new display 😊 also thanks for the FlexAR shout-out!
❤️
Woah! Thanks a lot!!
Can we work on a project together? Where we can compensate you for your designing services?
I try the script it has an error . After a while figure that missing parenthesis in the last print then it work.
Very well. Looking forward for the next video
Wait...wait... why does it have to be a circle? Why not use a square shape? The circle will have a lot of missing PCB spaces, hence not a good area coverage.
When are we going to get a face reveal?
Never!😜😜 I am comfortable behind the camera.

Great video. I got @JoanTheSpark's python code finally working. There is a bug on the "print" line. I had to assign a function to a variable, then print the variable. However, I'm having trouble with the connector that you used in the schematic. After adding the connector in the schematic, where did you get the footprint that gets used in the .pcb file? I'm assuming that the python output has to go there. Does that sound right?
Nice, what's the current needed to drive this small pcb coil as opposed to the ones you made out of wire?
PCB coil: 0.15A
Old coil: 1.4A
@@IndoorGeek pwm or dc?
DC

Thanks for sharing this... Iwas looking for it
You should make the electromagnets square, with that geometry they are stronger, I learned it in university, it’s not used because in reality is hard to make a coil with that type of winding, but with pcbs you can do whatever form you like that’s the cool part
That explains why they are square when you look at the die shots of ESP32 RF-hybrid radios/processors.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great project,exited to see the Mech Display 2.0
Thanks buddy!
Why this video haven't got any traction !!!
This is so nice of a project
Great project man🤩
Thank you!
hello I need pcb rogowski Coil. I don't know how I draw. Can you help me for pcb rogpwski coil?
How to make the via in the center of the coil in Kicad? Been trying much of tonight to do that.
Hey! Thanks for this amazing info! but i am still unable to make the coil on the pcb with the python script. I have tried copying the segment code and paste in the pcb file but there is no change observable.
Good knowledge, well done, thanks for sharing with us :)
What's the PCB thickness?
0.8mm
Awesome editing...true Indoor Geek✨
Thanks Akshay Bhau !
Hello everyone! I need to design a rectangular coil.Does anyone know how to do that or does anyone have a script for that?Thank you very much
Great idea man 🔥 awesome ♥️ keep it up
Thanks man!
Kool !!
Thank you!
I wanted to use KiCAD for one of Carl Bugega's other projects, the PCB Motor. This looks like it will be extremely useful if I modify Joan Spark's python script to squash the sides of the coils. Thank you!
One of the best video ❤️ loved it ❤️
Thanks a lot bro!
How did you place the via and connect , i have been trying and unable to do so.
That title is more then click bait for me :D
Well that is really clever. Nice work!
nice background music !
💯🔥
Thanks bhai!
Awesome job man. Such a nice video!
