Try making a version which uses T12 tips, so it will basically be a TS100
I just got my TS100 in the mail and now I see this? Nice work!
*EXCELLENT VIDEO. I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR THIS KIND OF VIDEO. THANKS A LOT.*

For the next version you should look into making it work better on 12V: Basically adjust the Mosfet´s PWM based on input voltage. You may also need a better mosfet in that case, not sure. But as long as the heater is not constantly on, there is room for it to heat faster.
Great project ! Another suggestion of improvement: Make the case and project thinner, smaller, and make the case more ergonomic.
Always check the DC resistance of the heating elements on these hack-o irons. I've ordered 3 that were sent with incorrect elements. This form factor is used for 40w, 50w, and 60w stations, along with straight mains versions for 240v and 120v. The best ones for 24v are the 60w version (harder to find). The DC resistance of that element should be very close to 9.5 ohms (+/-~0.2). Just to go all ohms law on ya, 24v at 60w is 2.5A and 9.6 ohms. If the DC resistance is greater than 11 ohms you have a 50w element. If the resistance is around 14 ohms you have a 40w version. If the element measures in the hundreds of ohms you have a mains voltage version. Again, the best version will measure 9.6 ohms ;) -Jake

BTW as far as T12 tips and the series thermocouple. That's actually an Atten design or at least you will find a whole lot of old Atten designs that used a 2 wire element when Hakko used 4.. Atten is the name of the company that makes a lot of the soldering stations that get rebranded for various stores and labels around the world. There are a few videos by KainkaLabs on KZread where he completely reverse engineers the Atten design in detail and demonstrates exactly how the thermocouple works. His videos are long but it's well worth the time spent if you want to understand that design. The classic Atten units use a PIC16 and a LM358 to operate. I use the old Radio Shack "60w Digital Soldering Station," which is a rebranded Atten unit. It uses the Hakko 900 series handle and a 2 wire element. I took a bunch of pictures of the pcb from that unit and uploaded them on the eevblog forum a year or two back, but I've never done a retrace or schematic myself. -Jake
Homemade Ts100. Very nice work.
Your the great man in the world.super..!

Oh damn you guy. Great video, again. We really should talk someday, It's frightening how your and my ideas match... this is the third project in a row you're catching up with a video of something i'm working on right now. first your current clamp, than the drone, now the soldering iron. :) Keep up with your great work. Thumbs up.

You could really add some decoupling caps to the various components, and also increase the output capacitance to maybe 10-50µF.
very neat...

How much current are you supplying,I gave 2A
I used a promicro and the max breakout bord. Lcd is bigger but some how still knows wat to do.
can i ask you if a irf1404l mosfet can be used and can be better?it hhas a bigger amperage rating but i'm new to this things so if you can explain to me if is a good move or not ... many thanks, Rik
Awesome vedio bro
i built your design out on a breadbord. i notice a overshoot in temprature of more than 20c is there somwere one can tune it bit tighter?
It looks so uncomfortable to hold. Perhaps a rounded edge for version 2?
What do u think about your pid controller ? As I see , you set the tempature but the pid controller isn't work properly.
instead of or in addition to the hall sensor, you should add a cheap accelerometer to detect when the iron is being moved to know when to sleep in cases where the iron isn't in a stand. Cool project however!

wgm4321 I was thinking the same thing. The only reason I can think of for using a hal sensor is to make sure you put it in the stand. However I think the Accelerometer would be much safer. If you set it down on your mat, instead of your stand, it would be nice if it went to sleep.
Awesome 🤘😜
Cool bro one of the best project u build. This u can even sell with you brand name ☺️ cool.

Is it possible to edit the EasyEDA files directly? I would like to change the barrel-connector to an XT30/60 connector, but I have no experience in making PCBs from scratch.
Hi! is it possible to use this attached code for your previous PID prototype with Arduino UNO hardware? there you have used a rotary encoder. I like this one with only 2 buttons simple and easy to use.

Hey Electronoobs! Would you make an alarm clock using discrete logic ICs?
How do u defined portable while a cable still attach on it
I am an avid fan of your inventions but was wondering if you can build an ultrasonic 3d scanner which almost looks like your portable soldering iron. Ultrasonic transducers are also used as ultrasound devices but was hoping to be a miniature or portable type for use in scanning peoples teeth or mouth --- do you think this is possible?
Want to help my workshop: www.patreon.com/ELECTRONOOBS Thank you so much!
Nice
Good day, I collected a portable soldering iron according to your scheme with your firmware version 1, and faced a problem, the hall sensor does not work and the temperature does not want to show correctly, when the flash began to show -5 on the thermocouple does not react, please tell me why?
Excellent project from a point of electronic design, however on the mechanical side, my experience with the purchased cheap handles from China, is that the plastic is not withstanding the temperature from the heating element. Consequently after short time of usage, the iron which is pressed into the black plastic, loosens and you cannot fixate it back in a lasting manner. So in order to improve the version 2.0 you must rethink the iron holder and the temperature issues, because the heat transfers to the rest of the handle. Maybe a 3 d printed ceramic holder instead of the cheap Chinese plastic. I have searched for high temperature glue to solve the above mentioned problems with my soldering iron, but not been able to find one. So I am continuing buying new handles. I look forward to learning your experiences. Thank you for a very interesting tutorial.

Can be used a smaller microcontroller? Isn't an AtMega328 wasted doing so few tasks?
Instant subscribe
Should have used an LM7805 instead of the giant buck-converter... Even the LM7805 would have been overkill for the small current needed.
Can u provide me circuit diagram for a smart band having heart rate sensor and node mcu to upload the data recorded by sensor to server ?
Why not use a linear regulator? I don't efficiency is the problem, and since the current draws for the OLED screen and microcontroller are very small, I don't think it would heat up a lot. Can you explain why you used a buck converter?

Electronoobs How about the lp2950/2951? That would save tons of space. And why should it be an ldo? It's not like the drop out voltage would be a problem when powering it from 24v.

Good build but the problem is not the metal tips, it's the heater you use. I've made some diy Open Source models of soldering irons. I've used another mosfet driver and a bit of a different approach on the circuit, but yours is very good. Your problem is indeed the heating element. I've used those cheapo's and they simply are awful. On ebay you should use the hakko clones that cost around 2.5$ and they are the Real Ceramic heating elements. There are some videos online discussing the differences between those but the real hakko clones are the model: A1321 for the 50W heating element and A1322 for the 60W heating element. Make a search for those and choose the ones that have a real hakko case and manual ... they are around 2.5$ or even lower. They heat Way faster then the "stock T900" handle heating elements. They are far far better then the one I see on the video. Also the T900 iron tip does not make contact with the heating element. Wrapping for example a copper sheet around the heating element will improve a Lot the thermal transfer and hence will make a better iron ...do not give up on the T900 solder tips they make great great solder irons.
You are mind blowing.. just try with T12....
Good
but i want a pwm controller for my AC soldering iron
Does this fit inside a ts100 case?
i use the same parts same code but i dont get temperature from iron can you help me? the thermocouple work i test with multimeter and when heat climb the ohm resistance

because the iron dont have thermocouple has PTC. fail.
Instead of this ceramic soldering iron you can use a hakko T12 soldering iron to buy on eBay and Amazon works fine! And you can use the T12 tips from hakko ! thanks for your video and all information! Best regards,
U are awesome
Please make one video on closed loop speed control of bldc motor
Why you didn't use hakko tips or ts100 tips they are much better and very fast heating! Thank you for your video ! Regards,
