Recently I received an interesting call from Felix Niessen, the developer of the KISS series. To my surprise, he told me that he has founded a new company called FETtec Electronics with Erhan and Torsten.
I immediately took the initiative and did a little interview with Felix, which I can now present to you guys!
This is the translated version of the original interview in german.
If you have further questions / remarks or even product suggestions to Felix and his team, please post them in the comments below!
Phil: Hello Felix,
thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please introduce yourself personally.
I am Felix Niessen, most known as the developer of the KISS series, and I am now starting my own project with my 2 colleagues
Phil: You founded the company FETtec, what exactly do you guys do?
Phil: What did you do before founding FETtec?
Phil: What is the meaning behind the name FETtec?
Not coincidentally, the abbreviation also fits to an important element of our hardware development (Field Effect Transistor)

And since we are a technical-electronic company, the name FETtec came together
Phil: Which products can we expect from you?
Phil: What sets your FETtec ESC apart from others?
Phil: What makes your ESC software better than others?
For the nerds: The ESC prdoduces a sine wave which makes the motor run much smoother. This is only possible with 128kHz PWM at high field speeds, as we need in racecopters. Compared to standard block-commutating ESCs, the smoth running motor results in fewer losses, fewer current spikes, which requires fewer capacitors. Thus, the ESC also disturbs connected hardware less. In addition, there will be an esc configuration tool with much more features than before, like motor and telemety testing.
Phil: Where are your products actually made?
Phil: What visions / goals do you have? Where do you see yourself in 3 years?
Phil: Will FETtec be represented at fairs or events?
Phil: So what will happen to the Flyduino KISS Series?
Thanks a lot to Felix and the whole FETtec Electronics team for this interview!
