	Description:		Welcome, Andreas Spiess! You may know Andreas from his YouTube channel about connected devices and electronics, as “the guy with the Swiss accent” The content on the channel is for intermediate people A lot of his content is piecing things together His newest video shows how to use tire pressure monitoring systems for home brewing The advantage of age is having seen a lot and having “lots of hooks in the brain” Goethe wrote “I didn’t have enough time to make it this short“ Andreas got started in the 70s, working on a forbidden fm transmitter CB radio wasn’t allowed in Switzerland at the time. He was in military service, where he learned Morse code. He later worked in Cameroon and Damascus for the International Committee of the Red Cross. After a degree in EE, he realized he made his hobby into his job. After an MBA, Andreas started doing product management. He also had a product that was a Morse code trainer. These were the topics of his first few videos on YouTube. “Every engineer should go into sales” to learn about things like sales pressure and budgeting. PhD in sales of investment goods. Using tech used in manufacturing (SPC) but applied to sales. First you had to find a process ERP systems Automation for buying parts Rules are important for automation “The most applied rule is ‘it depends’. This requires trained people which is expensive.” Even AI is finding out the rules “The most valuable world in the world is no” ESP32, ESP8266 Rules based influenced on IoT interests First computer was TRS80 James Bruton Ben Krasnow’s cookie machine Ben Krasnow’s video on laser traces. Multiple Dimensions is a company that Andreas helped get started. They make 3D PCBs, shown in the video above. Videos about antenna performance Influence of battery life on antenna Was first meant for PCBs and then later antennas were figured out Sleepwalking an ESP32 Using both cores on the ESP32 Building a reggae robot. AvE and This Old Tony Fleet management IoT App Story OTA updates Other things coming on the channel like BLE Micro (circuit) python vs arduino Will be doing a video with Damien George Benchmarks of micropython Check any of Andreas’ videos for contact info. He’s on FB and Twitter but mostly YouTube.
