Electromagnet For EZB

Has anyone added an electromagnet on an EZB.  I don’t want to throw power across a coil as I don’t want to burn out EZB.  

I see some arduino controller electromagnets on Amazon for $10 perhaps a skill for this in ARC?

Oh I see someone asked this before, I did not see it with a search for electromagnet.  Perhaps be nice to have a dedicated plug-in for it in ARC as I am sure a lot of people would use it.  

My gripper never lines up with an object very well so I figured I would cheat and attach a small piece of steal to the top of the object and have the object line up with the gripper.

Hi @Nink, I see you've answered your own question,:D I wanted to mention that I have used an electromagnet with the EZ-B successfully.

Yeah, you just need a transistor or MOSFET circuit to handle the current of the coil. If you had an extra H-Bridge, you could use that as well. The coil of an electromagnet can be treated as a motor or relay coil.
