Andrew Whyte here. This blog is a record of progress of paramita ltd, a UK product development consultancy.
Since I set up shop in May 2008, I've been rushed off my feet! Working to design the electronics for exciting products like: motor control for a training device for surgeons, to smart utility metering devices...
In case you are wondering why that last link is so cryptic, I have to explain - the client has requested that details be kept confidential. In fact, the market for smart metering devices is very competitive, so it's really important that paramita ltd take our secrecy seriously. Luckily, we keep our data encrypted with industry standard encryption and backed up regularly.
paramita ltd has an advantage over our rivals, in that we preferentially use the gEDA toolchain for our development. gEDA is an open source electronic design toolchain. This means that we don't pay thousands of pounds for software that locks you, our clients, into using a particular design flow. With the gEDA toolchain, we are able to deliver our designs in an open format. If any client isn't happy with our service, they can take the design, to someone else to develop.
paramita ltd delivers real world, working electronic designs, not vendor lock in.
