The Grove Electromagnet can hold up to 1 kg (approximately 2.2 lbs)

  // The was tested with the Grove Electromagnetic Module
  // Instantiate a Grove Electromagnet on digital pin D2
  upm::GroveElectromagnet* magnet = new upm::GroveElectromagnet(2);
  cout << "Starting up magnet...." << endl;
  magnet->off();

  bool magnetState = false;
  float time_passed = get_time();

  // Turn magnet on and off every 5 seconds
  while (shouldRun)
  {
    if ((get_time() - time_passed) > 5.0)
    {
        magnetState = !magnetState;
        if (magnetState)
            magnet->on();
        else
