Hi, Welcome to our nerdipedia

I'm Eddie, I'm the wiki host.




My homepage is http://eddiem.com



Nerdipedia.


Nerdipedia came about when Daniel ported my sonar program from the PC to Pocket-PC.
He asked if I could host his code and I suggested I set up a wiki so he could maintain his own pages.

I thought up the name and was amazed to find both nerdipedia.com,nerdipedia.org and many other similar domains were still unregistered. I register both com and org on the 3'rd and 4'th July 08.

I think both Daniel and I were surprised by the traffic Sonar-CE generated. At the time of writing (Jan-08) we've had 60,000 downloads of Sonar-CE.CAB.

We have averaged over 2200 page views per day all up for the site (not just sonar) - sonar-CE is still the top page.

Work.


I currently (2007) have three part time jobs.

I consult/contract to CSIRO - http://www.cat.csiro.au/
and have two seperate positions at QUT. http://www.qut.edu.au/

I returned to QUT mid 2007 to be a part-time project manager for NTQO.
This is a non-operational robotic observatory built primarily for use by high-school students in the US.
Our (oz) students use an observatory in Chili.
A number of problems including the remoteness, internet access, staff and student turn-over and mostly funding have put this project on hold.



In the mean time we are working on building a smaller solar observatory on our building at QUT gardens point campus.
Not much see show yet but this is the view from the roof.



My other job there is as a technician for a high-power (as in lots of watts) engineering group.

2009,

Mainly just working for the power group. I'm still waiting for more work promised by CSIRO.

Here I'm working on code for driving a three phase inverter stack. The little board on the left is an arduino programmed as a three phase signal generator. The unit on the right is a TMS320F28355 development kit. The PWM generated by the TMS is locked to the signal generator. One phase from each unit is shown on the CRO in the background.

Anatoly Dergachev, 14:38 EST, Mon 30 of Aug., 2010: Dear Daniel! Read with interest about your Sonar, but the download failed. It is downloaded as html. But still interesting, thanks for your work.
eddie, 11:52 EST, Fri 27 of Aug., 2010: After being burgled twice in 14 days all other projects are on hold while I sort out a security system.
eddie, 12:08 EST, Fri 20 of Aug., 2010: Daniel. Thanx for adding the new program.
