Project logs / Re: My HAKKO classic and T12/T15 soldering controller
[quote author="carpin"]Hi mr sparkybg
I wonder.
Can the controller drive the 4 wire heating element, from this low cost desoldering gun?

Thank you[/quote]

Hi Carpin,

Any chance you can measure the heater resistance of the B1002A you have ? It would come in handy for a project i'm working on.

Thanks.

Can I ask a calibration question ?

In the previous model (V2) you had a single pot for calibration and calibrated for one iron. On the V5 you have lots of irons belonging to one station, so what is the calibration procedure ?

And my favorite - get JBC C245 tips and handle. These tips are the best I had my hands on. They are expensive, but they last for a long time, and you need only 2-3 of them for 99.9% of work you will do with it.[/quote]

Out of interest which 2-3 JBC tips do you find works for you ?

As I am about to order the bits to make one of these I thought I may as well post the BOMs for the benefit of others with links to components on the Farnell UK website (my preferred supplier). Note they are untested BOMs at this stage, use at your own risk etc.

Thanks for the PID tips. I see pins 27 (PGC) and 28 (PGD) are also available for TXD2 and RXD2 so graphing is a possibility without altering the PCB.

Sounds like V3 is going to be the controller to end them all. I can't wait to see how you have tackled the various design choices and problems.

Excellent thanks for the info just what I was after. I take it the usual sources eBay and AliExpress are the places to browse ?

Out of interest how have you been tuning the PID parameters on the V1 of the controller. Just using the LED display for feedback or do you have a sneaky way of graphing the output ?

Firstly a big thanks to sparkybg for sharing, awesome project and it's saved me a heap of time doing R&D on an iron controller of my own. So I am busy acquiring the bits to build one of these. I am also thinking of getting a Hakko iron to use with it. (Eventually a JBC but as pointed out they have pricey tips).

I was thinking a Genuine handle and Chinese tips, comments please ....

Also are the T12 and T15 tips interchangeable ? What's the difference ? T15 is EU and North America only, is the difference as simple as the restriction of use of a material in the tip.

Thanks.
Cam.
