Hello,
Welcome to edparadis.com. My name is Ed Paradis, and I am interested in robotics, embedded systems, and automation.
I am currently employed in North Dallas as an Electrical Engineer, but I am open to other Electrical Engineering positions in the North Dallas area.
Please contact me to request my resume.
Projects and Documentation
From late 2005 till early 2007, I worked on a robot tank with the DPRG. It's ultimate goal is to run outdoor robot competitions using GPS and other sensors.
In December 2006, I purchased a toy radar gun and took it apart to build my own radar unit.
In the last week of 2006, I designed and built a Lego yarn ball winder so my girlfriend could wind up some yarn she'd dyed.
In January of 2007, I used Python to model simple machines with control systems.
In early September of 2007, I built a high voltage generator which I used to run a Jacob's Ladder.
During the 2007 Thanksgiving holiday, I taught myself to sew and made a case for my camera.
In November and December of 2007, I made a keyboard for a modular synthesizer
In January of 2008, I bought a Minolta X-700 35mm film camera and began taking photographs as a hobby. I proceeded to start a collection of Minolta manual focus gear.
In the Spring of 2008, I started developing my black and white film.
In the Summer of 2008, I started making my own prints with an enlarger.
I finally converted a Canon digital SLR camera to Minolta mount in January of 2009
Three months later, in April, I converted the Canon back to the original Canon EOS mount and wrote about the experience.
Software Guides
In October of 2007, I wrote a quick guide to setting up WinSCP to upload files to your website.
