this is alot of work for a diy soldering station. the same can be achieved with a simple 555, lm317, Transistor, or Op Amp circuit. Set the positive reference and use the thermistor as negative feedback. the 555 circuit would probably work best and dissipate low temperatures. usually soldering station irons work on 12-24v.

Scott, To fix your code you need to insert the following lines... Before the setup Line 21 int = triacVAL = 0; In the counter == 40 test Line 54 triacVAL = digitalRead(triac); Line 64 digitalWrite(triac, triacVAL); The reason it pauses every 40 cycles, is that on the test for 40, you set the triac low to read the temp, and it never gets checked again till the next interrupt 40 cycles later. The additional code looks at the state of the triac going into the test and stores it in triacVAL, then on leaving the interrupt it resets the triac to it's previous state. I don't have the components to hand to build a test circuit, but I hope this helps.

The fact that we can almost always search for the pinout of soldering irons like this one on Google or other search engines is something that should be considered. Of course in a world without that connectivity it's still important to be able to correctly identify them ourselves. While I think it is completely valid that you've done things this way I feel it is also important to mention other options and explain why this singular choice was made. This way others like myself can more easily understand the thought process behind the decisions we make while building things like this. To teach things like this we must consider the outside perspective and help them understand how we arrived at our final decision because in doing so they learn the process instead of just the answer. The project in this video is brilliant. I'd just like to see others make good decisions based on the wisdom we've gathered through our experience and gain their own in the process.

Great project, Scott, as always! Congratulations!

This is the coolest one I've seen. It makes sense to build a soldering station if you are wanting to learn how to build things. My first project was installing a prewired pickguard in my guitar. I have an SMD Kit coming in the mail for my second project. I have a 30 Watt Delcast Soldering Pen and am unsure if I will even need a soldering station for some time for my needs. But, if I do, I hope it looks something like this one.

One obvious problem with your Arduino code is that your 'counter' variable is changed by the interrupt function and the variable is defined as an 'int'. You have to define it as 'volatile int' to tell the compiler to always load the actual value from its memory location and not use a cached value, as the interrupt routine can change it at any time. Your actual problem however might be in the fact that you are measuring the temperature inside the interrupt function and by looking at the MAX6675 library code it is seen that it uses blocking delay() functions, which do not work inside interrupts properly, thus ending/receiving bad data probably or giving spurious answers. It is best to just measure the temperature inside your loop() function, and use the interrupt function to only switch on/off the output as needed.

You should buy JBC original holder or construct similar DIY. Holder has metal ring so when you rest you iron it contact with metal ring on the handle and goes to standby so preserve soldering tip. They last forever I must say. When lifted tip goes back to temp in about 3sec. The second function of stand is soldering tip hot swap jig. Tips can be hanged with single pull and push motion. You can go between tips during the work in just second or two. I love JBC.

Unfortunately I never found a solution either. I guess it has something to do with interference due to the long cables and low sensor signal.

Great... Scott! Creative and looks very professional product Keep It Up!

Absolutely fantastic. This is definitely one to add to the project list because my cheapo mains plug in iron is getting janky. That temperature processing problem can probably be fixed with a little tweaking of the code to filter out the anomalous data.

Humm... I hear you but look at the tech in it. People lose hundreds of dollars a year due to damaging what they are working on. The algorithm used in the JBC heating control system not only increases performance, it allows a reduction of the working temperature by 50ºC (122ºF) or more so lifting a pad or over heating a component dealing with a ground sucking up heat is far less likely. If the claims are true the JBC station can reach 662ºF in only 2 seconds compared to 8-10 sec or more. It's moments like that waiting as heat spreads that make an extra $400 spread out over years disappear and not seem like all that much. In many cases it will pay for itself as a nice RC model brought down due a heat damaged component is worth more than that in cash where the time lost is even more valuable. Lowering the temperature reduces the risk of damaging components big time. Even the JBC station will drop off 68ºF but other "good" stations drop up to 158ºF and that can break the bank. The operator is the most important factor of course but cannot outperform the tools they use and the worse you are at soldering the more you need it. And $35 bucks a tip is what it takes to be in the game. A tip that will last 5 times as long so when you do the math it's the initial cost that hurts but the pain goes away with time and I'm thinking it out. A week ago I'd agree with you;-) BTW I've been using a couple of 936 clones for years with cheap $1.00 tips that needed copper mesh added to get a tight fit and compared to the Radio Shack 30w handhelds I grew up with works miles better and is (seems) great up till it's thermal limit. But once put on and heated up the tip is not coming off so I have several stacked as I only paid 10 bucks a piece on sale (8 bucks off) at Hobby King for the entire 936 cloned station so I know what you mean... the 936 was a good machine to copy. But I just melted a handle wire and am tired of dealing with the stiff short wire used so decided to up grade and after researching it I went from where you are at to thinking $35 bucks is really fair price even for someone that does not solder for a living. The more I research the JBC station the less I want it and the more I need it.

with that you can make a wave cutting power regulation. you cant how ever do any measuring of the temperature. you would just heat it up until it reaches equilibrium, not the temperature you want.

GreatScott you need to make new intro

Could make a new one, or make a new video. I'd take the video any day ...........

Truly amazing video this proves we are in the future high quality DIY products can be made using cheap and basic items aided by software. I know it sounds a little exaggerated but when I was a teenager this was impossible for a regular guy at home.

Damn ! i didn't understand nothing :/

4:30 You added an OLED LCD? wtf

Brilliant job, thank you for posting.

Fantastic project, this one I think I will make

Cant i just buy a cheap soldering iron station from ebay and equip that station with that expensive solderingtip and solderingiron?

Capt_Kaplan you probably can. Bigclivedotcom not too long ago recomended a Hakko clone tht was cheap and with good performance, and that could actually use original Hakko tips and irons if needed. Ofc in the end it's still not the same performance as this.

This iron is really nice, small and easy/nice to handle. The Hakko clones aren't bad, but they are larger, use a ceramic element that takes longer to heat, and have a tendency to loosen at their threaded collar clamping points. The clone tips are junk, the coatings suck IMO. You'll go through 5 $.99 clones in the same amount of time as 1 $5 genuine Hakko tip.

I remember that, worldwide supplies of that clone station disappeared after that video. I ended up having to get a knock off of the clone. Works OK for my armature needs though.

Buy a TS100. It is only 50 dollars, and works the same as what he showed, but TS100 is much more compact

Alex Gamer_360 I thought I smelled bacon when I opened this thread.

Almost watched most of ur video sir. Every video was very educative and fascinating thank a lot sir..

You are awesome. Excellent video for EEE students. They will learn lots of things from your video.

Another epic video! I wish my university could hire a lecturer like you!

Is it ever difficult being SO Awesome? My electrical engineering hero :3

A very handy design.. thanks 🙏

Nice project! You are a inspiration!

Oh god the last few seconds. I can use a breadboard to hold pin connectors while I solder things to the pins. Thank you so much, that's a brilliant simple idea.
