The thesis focuses on the manufacturing of a portable and cost-effective device intended for learning and experimentation in the field of control systems. Based on the open-source AutomationShield project, a FloatShield device was developed, enabling the regulation of a ball's height in a vertical tube using a fan and a distance sensor. The thesis presents the design, construction, and testing processes of the device, along with the challenges encountered and the implemented solutions. The conclusion provides an evaluation of the achieved results and suggestions for future improvements.
