Any suggestions what encoder to buy for the 5.2c? I have seen images of EC11 but which model is best to select.
Trying at random seems expensive since I can buy these in a Pack of 5, genuinely made in Japan ALPS. Some models are in the price range of €6 - €22 each. The high end is classified for army precision.
Can we make a list of supported encoders please with model numbers or Specs required?
I have only c245 and c210 it is easy to swap , I will not ask no worry.
The JBC desoldering gun is on my list to add it to Unisolder. Currently I have the Hakko FR301 and I am not happy with the performance its better then nothing , Genuine European 220v version.
This is disappointing what a mess, this guy looked as if he knows what he was doing, having said that I like his idea and I believe there is an easier way to do this, can this be done using MOSFETs?
Also re wires from iron, they all have to be isolated?
Is it possible that the switching be done with fewer wires which will have the end result of common wires between JBC models?
My journey to find the best case ideas still makes me find stuff that is not even in my language. This time I found a guy from RUSSIA which did a switching iron using relays with an extra Attiny13 to control switching.
In his example, he demonstrates switching between C245. C210, JBC AM120-A & DR560-A using 8 relays (2 relays per each Iron)
I happen to have these 24v relays and I am tempted to try this but how safe will this be. Anyone in here ever tried this or have a better approach to eliminate the use of relays?

I forget to mention this is running on Unisolder 5.2 inside a real JBC Case (Jbc hd-2b). At some point he manages to get it 500c I hope that is a Bug, maybe I have good reason to remain swap iron manually with cable.

Haha yeah, so you were his angel and prevented his board from going almost RIP, Nice Job There. I understand that mistakes happen but on a project like this extra care should be taken when messing with polarized items you cannot always depend on PCB designer after taught.
When crimp any ribbon cables always check if pins match and there is no short especially if you have no good tools and maybe using a vice. In this case, it is 10P so not hard but still, I would check.
Something else I would never, solder wires direct to the PCB is just a bad idea. Use either header or design a small PCB template to fit the front screen, I know it is extra work but I suffer from OCD and it is hard for me not to point this out.
No, I never tried JLCPCB however I think I should give them a try since they are 3 times cheaper from where I buy in the UK. I am happy now, I will have this PCB in 2 weeks time after I complete my PCB project.
thats is error code about low voltage? or what i need do?
If what I am seeing is correct you crimped the Ribbon cable the opposite side!! Please check if pin 1 is really pin1 using multimeter following the ARROW on the plastic.
This error normally means either no cable, something wrong with the cable or faulty component.
Sparky I tried to order 5.2c and found a small issue. Would it be possible to have a special back that includes the OLED, please?
Any help on this Sparky, please? I tried to do it using CAM350 however I did not like the modified Gerber files
If I had Altium files, all I would do is open FULLPCB and Remove FRONT from panelized, but since files are not shared I need to ask to have it done correctly and can rest my mind that I will not get faulty PCB.
If what I am asking is not possible I will understand and I will find another solution with what you shared.
You found an issue with the boards? Can you explain?
Not really, I need extra Gerber folder which will be BACK + OLED together like my image to avoid order 3 PCB Boards. The FULL PCB does not pass as a prototype due to a size which does not let me use my coupon code to get it for free with my current order.

Well done.
