Project logs / Re: My HAKKO classic and T12/T15 soldering controller

Ok I might look at designing my own board including the power supply and control board in one, the vias aren't a problem as I can put a pin through and pads on both sides.

Thanks heaps sparkybg,

I am looking at making the boards myself but curious as to where you got your boards done or did you do etch them yourself.

[quote author="sparkybg"]All the components can be bought from Farnell, Mouser, Digikey etc.

...and, yes, the controller can work without sensor. It automatically determines if there is or there is not sensor attached. It also has an option in the menu for the sensor - on, off or auto(default).

The sensor just sends 0 or 5V to the controller to indicate if iron is in the stand. Same can be done with a simple SPDT switch.[/quote]

Does the sleep stand set the iron to go to a idle temp if so what temperature

By my understanding if I had a SPDT switch sleep pin tied to ground with a 4.7k resistor and then had the switch pulling it high to 5v, does there need to be anything else done to the controller eg. having other pins that would normally be designated to the sensor tied in any way ?

I will have a look at what I can find its more about availability alot of the components for projects I look at making aren't very readily available and in most cases I am not sure how to determine a component which can be used in place,

With this design does the sensor board (sleep stand) need to be used or will the circuit function without it say if it had a bridge across a pin to pull it high or low ?

Is it ESD safe ?

And what alternatives can I use for the sr580's ?
