Re: Really universal soldering controller Reply #3556 – November 20, 2020, 10:09:01 am Blue and yellow are connected together on the back of the PCB. They are the same button!

Re: Really universal soldering controller Reply #3558 – November 20, 2020, 10:21:13 am Here they are. This is at the front of of the front PCB.Button is to B2 and 3.3V. Sorry, my mistake. The button on the encoder is just plays like center button. Last Edit: November 20, 2020, 10:23:26 am by sparkybg 2 Likes

Re: Really universal soldering controller Reply #3560 – November 20, 2020, 10:39:04 am vilkan35, please give me some details on controller's Q2 destruction, if any. Yesterday I tried maybe 30-40 times hot plug-unplug without any result. I was not able to destroy Q2, and not able to heat it up to the point it destroys/melts/smokes, no matter what I do.

There was a case of failure U1 + Q1 on the sleep sensor board. Last Edit: November 20, 2020, 11:01:50 am by vulkan35

He also pointed a link to polish or slovak forum, many users complane of that.So I asked. Any comments?
Re: Really universal soldering controller Reply #3563 – November 20, 2020, 11:13:43 am Quote from: sparkybg on November 20, 2020, 11:07:43 amSo I asked. Any comments?As I remrmber correct He said "it burned my station", I will try to find.That and also in that slovenian site in attachment, also I red somewhere something similar

For 3 years I collected more than 50 sets of boards, there was not a single case.
Re: Really universal soldering controller Reply #3565 – November 20, 2020, 11:26:44 am Hi Sparky, about the setting being reset after firmware upgrade Quote from: sparkybg on November 19, 2020, 10:16:05 pmIt 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...
