The HedoN team

“At Hedon I had 5 fantastic months before my graduation. When I applied for a graduation project we discussed which project fitted me best and what they needed at that moment. This has lead to an interesting and varied project, that was very informative. Moreover, I was in a company where everyone is very interested in your work and will always do their best to help you out. I really appreciated this, it helped me to get to know everyone quickly. It also helped me tremendously with my project, because it was a very broad subject with analogue as well as digital electronics and also some coding. there is a lot of knowledge in the company and people are keen to share this with one another. This is why I found HedoN a nice company to finish my studies.“

“Hello my name is Xander Kottelaar, I am 23 years old and was a student at Hogeschool Rotterdam where I studied Electrical Enigineering. Recently I finished my studies succesfully after a graduation project at HedoN Electronic Developments. I worked (together with other trainees) on a project named ‘hydraulic simulator’. The purpose of this project is to use various specific modules and a controller to simulate a hydraulic motor. This “simulator” of a hydraulic motor can be used to test the functionality of the Hydraulic Motor Controller designed by HedoN. My contribution to this project consisted of the design and development of a module that could simulate simultaneously four different quadrature encoders. The velocity and direction of rotation of these encoders can be configured through Ethernet by the controller.

During my project I have learned a lot, not just about software but also about hardware. For example I wrote software for the communication via Ethernet through a broadcast and also designed hardware to generate the quadrature encoding signal. During my graduation project I could always go to my co-workers with any questions. regardless whether the question was related to the project. The HedoN staff are open and work together as a team to lead any project to a good result. I had a very goed time at HedoN and am glad that I could do my graduation project here.“

“My name is Chico Boot and I worked as a trainee at HedoN during 5 months. During my traineeship I designed en developed a pindriver. The pindriver controller is part of a testing system that HedoN is developing. I have been able to take part in the development process from the start to the end. I started by putting together a list of specifications for the pindriver with HedoN and ended up with a working prototype. To take part in the whole development process was very instructive for me. I had a lot of freedom during the development process, this is characteristic for HedoN. There is a lot of knowledge in HedoN and the staff are wiling to help you out. I have been able to learn a lot and enjoyed my traineeship at HedoN“
