STM32 Soldering Station

Hi there, so I’m adapting this project: https://hackaday.io/project/3417/ to the “blue pill“, I tested it on an arduino pro mini and worked well so I decided to this be my first project on the STM32 platform, so almost finished and just missed a few things that I can’t use on this platform like:

-the watchdog library.
-the TimerOne library.

This is the schematics I’m using:

Its an interesting project.

Thanks for taking the time to post the details.

Its not all my own work

Much is owed to Leaflabs for their original work, and also to all the other community members as well.

Nice – good work

love it
looks like a fun project . Was it hard to get the temperature readings of the soldering iron correct?

Looks great, I always wondered how hard it would be to make a control board for a soldering iron!

I’m curious, how does it perform in practice? Does it take long to get up to temp? What kind of stuff can you solder with it, would it work on some bigger through hole parts with bigger thermal mass etc.? Is it better/worse compared to the el cheapo’ Hakko clones?

A ~2min gif:

Hi, so I’ve used this soldering station a lot since I opened this thread and works really well, with a 24v power supply the iron reach 300º from room temperature quicker that I reported when I used 12-16v (now takes 30 seconds or less).

I’m working on the version 2 of this soldering station, this is the schematics I’ll use:

incredible good job
may you post a video ?

do u still have max6675 library for this project??

can u share??

thanks
