you can write me to one set of unnasembled PCBs, 10€ +/- for set is a good price :)
I have one idea, can you do some modification for encoder ? For example these 3 buttons will be direct temperature memory and with encoder you can set temperature, controll menu and other functions ? I think these buttons arent so good as encoder. You have some free pins i think encoder is a good "option feature".
The main ideas of my proposals:
* Prototype showing detaillidly all the internals while working, showing voltages, frequencies and temperatures while working.
->Maybe this would require a smart use of PiP and using multi-camera or whatever other way (logging.and putting data in post-production?), but too much work to do it for just one person..
* Real usage under different conditions
- THT and big junction solderings.
-SMT and THT mixed PCBs to populated PCBs with those pin filled ones.
- Desoldering using solder wick. Not sure if your controller can drive a desoldering tip too.
* Different soldering tips for each of the same tests, repeating each one of them on the same conditions:
- HAKKO: T12/T15, FX8801...
- PACE: TD100....
- JBC: C245, C210, Microtweezers.
- WELLER: WSP80.
- Others if possible.
I know, this is very time consuming. So I hope test could be made by all community members instead of just you, some of them can have better measurement tools for temperature and such. You may publish your projects in other forums if you are allowed and wish to do it, so you'll get more reviews.
If you want: I can help you setup a WordPress site or a github one, the last one is easier but more limited.
I wrote too much for now. I'll wait for your replies, take all the time you would need! I don't care to wait at all!
If I get incomes this summer (I hope!), I would like to buy an unpopulated PCB, a toroidal transformer and get some good soldering tips for it (THT and SMT work).
I'll try to see if I can use the same transformer for a DIY lab (linear?) adjustable PSU on the same case (and maybe share the OLED display too?), because I'll not use both devices at once and could provide some portability.
I would be very thankful if you reply all them, despite some might not be the ones I would like to receive.
Thanks in advance! ;)
