Sparkybg,
I know in your videos it shows you use a BK2000+ case. But I also saw mention in this thread that BK3000 also works the same?  Please see this link:
https://circuitspecialists.glopal.com/e ... ialists.eu

It is BK3000LF with iron stand. Will this station work well and is the stand the one you use for the sensor?  The website does not say the model/part number for the stand but it looks like the one you posted earlier in this thread.

I must buy a soldering station to build this project because my iron is not small enough. I suppose I should just buy the correct one from the start.

I have both BK2000+ and BK3000LF, and I am using their enclosures. This is the stand for the sensor, yes. You will have to drill 2 holes for the PCB and 2 holes for the diode and receiver, but it is easy thing to do.

The back panel must also be replaced. I will give you the drawings when you are ready with everything else.

Thank you.  I am waiting for BK3000LF to come back in stock in the USA.  I am almost finished ordering page 1 of BOM! :-)  2 more pages to go.

Can you tell me what kind of header is RJ11V?  It says 8 pin header but on the back PCB, I see only 6 holes.  It is 2 rows of 3 pins, but the rows are offset.

6pin RJ11 vertical connector. 2 additional pins are the fixing pins.

RJ11...is this the correct part?  This one has 8 positions and 2 fixing pins.  I'm guessing it's not the right part.  Mouser 538-52018-8846

I am not sure how to determine which speaker to use.  I recall reading that you need the type without generator but I don't know how to tell.

I do not know if breakdown or clamping voltage is the 60v specification that you call for.
Datasheet is not available for this part but specs are here:

This is RJ45. You need RJ11.

There are no special requrements to it but the case, the pin spacing, and NOT having an internal generator. It must be pure speaker needing AC on it's leads in order to work.

This is 68V. You need 60V or close to 60V.

My shopping cart is almost done!!!  Just need to clarify a few more items for when sparkybg has time to answer.  My total is about $125 USD so far.  I have ordered a few extra of the small items in case I drop them on the floor. :-)  I have chosen, as much as possible, in stock items.  I am not a good value shopper and am very inexperienced so I'm sure it could be less expensive.

I will post my shopping list with Mouser part numbers soon.  I don't want to post it now until I am fairly confident the information is accurate for others to use.

Another question...does the iron holder sensor have a separate BOM or are the parts already there?  I didn't notice any parts that seemed like they could be used to sense the presence of an iron.  Also, does anyone have a sensor PCB available for sale?

This is horizontal and you need vertical and it is clearly visible form the drawing.

Thank you again, sparkybg, for all your assistance.  When you have time, could you look at my post above regarding the crystal oscillator and mini-USB?  Also, if you could tell me about sensor parts so I can order them, too?  I have read this entire thread 2 times (although sometimes I do not understand what reading) and I don't know where the parts list is for the sensor.

Look for a part without side "things" if you are planning to use BK3000LF enclosure and my back panel for it.

Mini USB and crystal are OK.

For sensor parts, look at the schematic. These are not in the BOM.

Thank you, sparkybg!  Okay, I will check the schematics and try to find a different RJ11 connector.

I just learned that the BK2000+ comes with an iron stand that looks like the same one you used. It's cheaper and in stock so am going to order one today. Does the BK2000+ also need a new back panel?

Re: Really universal soldering controller

Reply #988
Yes, it needs. The enclosures and the stands of 2000+ and 3000LF are the same.

Also, nothing inside is useful (even the transformer) and you must remove the tinted glass in front of the 7-segment indicator on the front panel.

Thank you, sparkybg!  I have ordered the BK2000+ but have given up on the RJ11...I cannot find one any better. I will cut off the side things if need be.

I will post my Mouser shopping list in a couple of days. I am having trouble finding some power connectors (J1 and J2) and have to leave for business trip today.
