A big thanks , I spend 6 months in my RV and loving to do projects on the road and my Hanko Take a bit of room and dealing with that pesky extension cord. I printed your lid with a Dewalt battery adapter" That I always carry for my drill" . I also just did one for my nephew in-Law for a Makita battery. I will post both on Thigiverse under HANKO.
I am an old man but I sure do enjoy you young folks and all your knowledge. I want to build one of these but I'm not sure I have the ability to do it. Thanks for your video. I'll try to follow along and make one.
Thank you brother i didn't find any solution for my 928D soldering station tip tharmal conductivity. I purchased lots of tip but no one gave me a good result...then i followed your tharmal paste idea...and it was really surprising that my 2 years old iron tip working as like a brand new tip.....thanks
the best project on youtube for beginners in electronics who want to build a variable temp soldering station, brilliant work, thank you so much. I will do a bit of research on how to detect idle on the base to sleep the iron, but any tips would be welcome.
thanks for the thermistor value graph. since I don't have programming skills or an Arduino I'll just steeeaaal the graph details to make the analog version. thanks again!
sexier version of great scott's JBC station. looks really good! I can hear eevblog saying "hakko!" hahaha. The hakko connector was the only thing that kept me from making one before. Thanks for including the pinout documentation. I will try to buy a clone and replace the connector with a 4 pin aux. love the vid 💯
Thanks!! Ummm I think the aux might be a bad idea since the contact resistance increases overtime when the surface oxidizes. I suggest using two DC jacks or a 4 pin header connector :) Have fun!
I completely understand how to make this and I WANT to make this, but I literally don't have the knowledge for it. I don't understand technical diagrams/schematics and I would have literally no idea how to tune or find out all the voltages stuff. However, thank you so much for making this video. I hope I can make this some day :')
i just stumbled onto this video from doing a YT search. after watching this video (my 1st from your channel) i decided to sub/bell. thanks for the great info and making it real clear (which includes the superb A/V).
Fantastic, you made me go to back to Proteus again (abandoned since 2014). I will try a slight add thinking on using it hours in a real job. I miss someting to reduce temp when device is in support unused waiting for Next solder attempt. I think a LDR placed on the external support could do the job, when dark comes "handle on support" the arduino could pass to económic Mode. When darkness goes away "Handle out of support" back to normal Mode again. Just an additional 2 pin plug for the external LDR and some board modification.
Your joints are on point! You should do a tutorial on basic soldering. I that LTC chip on the vid one of your new projects? Looks like a big project. Once again, great tutorial!
I decided to use a pin header for the connections. Plus, I figured why you are able to disconnect the soldering iron: in case the soldering iron gets destroyed, you can replace it easily.
A good video would be showing those of us that are interested in learning the Arduino code would be watching you explain the program that you developed for this project. Thanks for the video.

CORRECTION!!!! - Use the IRLZ44N not the IRFZ44N. The PCB label and schematic on the video lacked the "L". Your MOSFET will run hot if you use the non-logic level IRFZ44N MOSFET. For MOSFET alternatives visit the instructable link. I personally prefer the IRLB4132. - Due to tiny revisions, please refer to the file package schematics or the instructable tutorial. I update them often for typos and corrections. The one on the Google drive is all fixed. - To those who ordered my PCB you should be good to go, the tiny errors in the schematic and PDF files had nothing to do with the PCB links. - I accidentally swapped and mislabeled Vin and Vout from the voltage divider equation when I was transcribing my hand written docs. The computation wasn't affected.
That's a freak'n good vid mate! God, I'm glac you did this,thanks alot, A LOT!!!! Just a little question though: can you tell us an average price of the project (without power supply) ?? Thanks again.
A welder w101 is a good as is alternative. Heat goes from 300f to 850f. I used all sorts of parts so I needed highest for the bubbling for high voltage parts.
Good project but ... there are some issues with this setup: 1- The very cheap Hakko clones handles do not have ceramic heaters. I storngly suggest replacing the heating element for the Hakko 1321. 2- If the heating element is a Hakko 1321 (or clone of that) ceramic heating element then the iron will have 50W of power and have JK junction sensors, not thermistors. 3- Even if IRFZ44N is a logic level mosfet (for 5V logic) at least for up to 10A-20A Drain current it requires a drive since you're actuating the mosfet with a PWM cycle. I imagine the PWM cycle could reach 30KHz-50KHz ... so that means a transistor to drive the base is necessary. 4- A simple linear regulator even in a TO-92 package would suffice to be the source power for the arduino and Display there's no need for the module used although of course that works also.
Thanks! I did mention in in the video to replace the clone heating element with an original one, they're pretty cheap too. Yep, other models use thermocouples, the MAX6675 would work well with k-types. The PWM frequency with pin 10 was left on Arduino's default frequency of 490Hz, the IRFZ44N should suffice. I've built three of these already, they're pretty stable. The IRLB4132 on the other hand is my favourite logic level MOSFETs for most PWM projects below 30V. For the regulator, I'm assuming you're referring to the 78L05. Dont forget, that the LCD backlight is relatively power hungry if a linear regulator were to be used for a 24V-5V voltage difference (if vin is bypassed). The system on standby runs at around 0.12A at 5V, at 24V the heat dissipated is around 2.2W, most TO-92 linear regulators are limited to 1W. In my experience these often fail fast when the thermals are neglected. The TO-220 7805 would be a wise choice, but heatsinking would probably be required. Regardless if it was board mounted or D2PAK soldered, it's going to dissipate too much heat. I went with the buck since the specific model to keep the board small, cool and effecient. Bucks are kinda cheap these days :) But I guess there's no stopping on anyone who decides to hotwire a linear reg on the buck pins.
@@TechBuilder If you only use 490Hz then it may be stable since the gate will have time to discharge and charge with not a significant amount of RC dumping effect. But the change for a 1321 ceramic heating element I strongly suggest. It's a big difference specially when it comes to heating times. It heats to the setpoint temperature much faster then those pre-instaled in very cheap 907 handles. And also they're not that expensive. I also prefer the IRBL4132 but I think I have the same problem you have ... a ton of IRFZ44N lying around waiting to be used :) About the linear regulator well with the display being a 1602 you're right a TO-220 would be advisable, with a heatsink. Like I said the small buck converter works just fine.

You had done a great job on this soldering station. Perhaps you can design a desoldering station for your later project. de-soldering stations are very useful tools and very expensive.
Thank you for your project, i made it but for the first while it doesn't work because you have missed the GND wire on you PCB (PDF) and when i added this wire every thing is was ok. So thanks any way.
What do your heating-element and the inside of the tips look like when you exchange them after having used thermal paste between them? The datasheets of most thermal pastes I could find indicate that they decompose well below common soldering temperatures.
I have one! They're pretty fast to be honest. I just dislike the grip on the thing. I use it often for remote repairs with a PD powerbank and the USB-C bypass board.
@@TechBuilder that's the new one, the ts80. I didn't like the usbc thing so I bought the old one. I didn't get how much would your diy project cost tho.
I meant the old one. I just added a USB passthrough so I can connect the old TS100 to USB-C, never knew they have a USB-C version now. The cost was roughly about $7, from where I got my parts (excluding the power supply).
It would! :D I attached it to a 6S li-ion pack when I was soldering my solar panel's line when I was soldering on the roof 😅 I made a tiny version of this with some 18650 slots and a belt buckle.
Why use a nano when any ATtiny would suffice? I’d also seriously considering overvolting it to 30-36VDC. There’s little risk of the element fusing, especially if you use a PID algorithm to stop the temperature rising so quickly, but it could be a great help when working on heavy gauge materials. I’d also like to see this done with a T12 handle, as the cartridge tips tend to have significantly better thermal performance, if for a higher price. Their thermistor layout is also kinda odd from what I remember, so temperature sensing may be more difficult.
While ATtiny is cheaper, the beginner's in electronics are much more familiar with the Nano. Overvolting is a good idea but tiny bucks that can support above 30V are harder to find for the newbies. This tutorial was made in a way to let beginners get into MCUs and not scare them away. I have separate tech savy tutorial segments like the recent MPPT SCC where I didn't hold back from the component selection. I might revisit this old project and make a beefier and complex version of it. There's also a better version of the T12, I might use it if I were to revisit this project.

For easier usage i would suggest using Jumpers on the Arduino,
That way you can always Hotswap the arduino if the chip is broken/damaged
