For those who want USB3, this may be an option. I have ordered some to try. I have the Front board inside the case anyway.
Here is the link.
@sparkybg , maybe you could consider a header for the usb?  Should not be a major redesign...
And maybe for the OLED too?  :-[  Easier for those who have separate OLED/USB

Hi Sparky,
about the setting being reset after firmware upgrade
Quote from: sparkybg on
It is not intentional. After you set these things, turn off the power in order for them to be saved in the EEPROM - they are saved while "POWER LOST" message is on the screen.

I did some firmware upgrades on my station today. 
I changed some settings, then powered off the station (to save them).
Then powered on the station and did a firmware update. This seems ok; settings are remembered.
Then I changed some settings again and NOT power off the station.
Now when I do a firmware upgrade, it reset (some?) values to default. T° settings, holder temp,...
Something seems to trigger resetting the saved values. Not sure yet what exactly.
Not a big issue really, I will do a firmware update next time right after powering on. I think that will work...

I connected it as sparky described:
Connection of rotary encoder:
- A to B1
- B to B3
- C to 3.3V
- Button to B1 and 3.3V

Basically, it's connected to the 3 buttons; the 'common' for the buttons is 3.3V

I have them saved. for example 280 - 320 - 360
When I do the firmware update, the Unisolder reboots, and the presets are set to 250-300-350 (which is the default values I guess.)
Not sure if I can prevent it by turning off the power, but I will check again tomorrow.

PS: And ENC-AB-4PPD works best for me also. The next best is ENC-A-2PPD.

Indeed, ENC-A-2PPD also works, but changes 2 steps for 1 click.  I din't try this, I tried ENC-AB-2PPD
Anyway, I suppose there is an option for everyone...
Personally, I like this way better than buttons, but it's a matter of taste I suppose.
