#solderingiron — Public Fediverse posts

I am hard choosing #Pinecil or Alientek T90A.

They are ≈ $54.5, $51.5, with 3 tips respectively.

T90A has c210 tips(seem to be cheaper) It has a cylindrical cap for the tip, so it is safe to carry.
Also comes with USB C cable.

But Pinecil v2 is OSHW, FLOSS.

I will be doing probably some modules, PCB, perfboard, not thick wires soldering. Occasional micro soldering to hack devices.

T90 has N32L403 MCU.
Maybe it is an opportunity for me to develop :rust: PAC and HAL for this MCU.
There are official datashits and C code.
Also community made iron schematic.

But this will take a lot of time, I am already kind of busy with school, robotics, math. Reverse Engineering is addictive.

What would you choose in my place?

😂🔧 Ah, the riveting tale of how a soldering iron became the protagonist in a #JTAG drama! Two years of tireless toil, and behold! The #Pinecil finally speaks JTAG, thanks to an entourage of code wizards and a namedrop parade. 🎉 To the select few who find excitement in accessing an MCU's innermost secrets, your hero's journey is complete. 🌟

＜職場に残す はんだゴテ＞

今月（2026.01）末で退職するので私物の大半は持ち帰った。その中にはHakko FX-600も含まれている。それを持ち帰ってしまうと職場の実験室には、はんだごて(Soldering Iron)が存在しなくなる。

後任の者はそれを必要としないだろう。しかし、万一はんだ付けが必要となった時に困らないよう自宅で休眠状態の はんだゴテ を作業机の脇にぶらさせておいた（写真）。

写真のはんだゴテは、私が25年以上前に使っていたGoot（太洋電機産業）のTQ-80。昔はこれで様々な電子工作をしていた。しかし今は全く使っていていない。

このGootのTQシリーズは現在も販売されているベストセラーのセラミックヒーター式でこれを使って工作をしている人が多い（主として日本人）。手元のボタンを押すと急激に温度が上昇する(通常は390℃だがボタンを押すと560℃になる)。そのため、熱が必要な缶詰の缶を使ったはんだ付け工作などにも使える。
理由は判らないがTQ-80という型番だけは廃版になっていた。

（続き）

約８年間、このはんだゴテ1本で様々な設備の補修や制御装置の製作に使用した。
・プレス機の電線が断線したときには現場に駆けつけてこれを使って修理した。
・制御装置を組み立てる時にも使った。
・プリント基板に電子部品をはんだ付けする時にも使った。
コテ先（Iron tip）は三種類購入して作業内容によって使い分けていた。

8年間一度もコテのヒーターが故障することは無かった。さすがHakko製である。
ただ、電源コードはオリジナルは硬くて取り回しが悪いので柔らかな電線に交換した。

これからは自宅のWork Benchで趣味の電子回路を組立てに使いづけるつもりだ。

"The FixHub | Power Series was born out of frustration—after our founder had to drag an extension cord out to his car just to fix a stereo, we knew there had to be a better way. With over 1,000 repair guides on iFixit requiring a soldering iron, we set out to create the best tool possible for our community and ourselves."

Я долго откладывал,но рано или поздно покупку нормального паяльника нужно было совершать.

Современные проблемы требуют современных решений, по этому очевидно что паяльник должен был уметь работать по type C и поддерживать QC и PD. Разумеется,что быстрая смена жал и их доступность тоже не помешают. По совокупности функционала и цены выбрал решение от GVDA. Пока что не могу сказать не чего плохого. Если кто сталкивался с косяками или недоработками, welcome в коменты.

And my wife gets upset at me for laughing at these movies and TV shows.

How can you not?

You probably saw those pics from stock-photo places going around before, but soldering irons always make me think of this.

Neither the photographers nor the models were quite up to speed on how the things work:

Mine currently lives on top of my power supply but it has a little house in my trunk for those days that clients want to client as hard as they can. Haven't done anything with a fat ground plane but I assume it will not be good at it.

This is a Mox portable #solderingiron from the early 1970s

The fuel source was similar to thermite and was a reliable way to get a hot iron in conditions where a gas powered iron might be impractical

A cartridge was placed in the iron and the lid closed, and a lit fusee match was pushed into the centre hole on the cover.

The cartridge ignited and when it stopped fizzing you tinned the bit and carried on #soldering

Finally had a chance to get back to building my mini #Agrivoltaics setup, i have built a frame for the #solar cells and so the next step was to solder on the tabbing wire, turns out I need a more powerful #solderingiron - oh well time to order a new one…
