Hardware hacking is more fun with open source, DIY tools. Thats why Arhi designed a completely open soldering station controller motherboard.

The completed PCB is the heart of a soldering station, able to control several types of name-brand (and clone) soldering iron pencils. The key to this universal design is the analog front-end which is capable of reading both thermocouple and PTC temperature sensors commonly used in most soldering irons.

Tip status is monitored by a mircrocontroller, and accurately adjusted via PID temperature control. Temperature, configuration, and calibration settings are shown on a 2x16 character LCD display, and controlled with rotary encoder knobs. Soldering pencils currently tested by the community include Hakko, Solomon irons, and Weller PES51 irons. See a full list of tested soldering pencils.


Features
Compatible with most PTC or TC type soldering irons
Accurate and adjustable PID temperature control
Potential for USB data logging, and firmware updates
UART/serial data logging
Uses a HD44780 2x16 character LCD
Low noise, zero crossing AC heater control
Dangerous Prototypes version is public domain (CC-0)
This is just a PCB. You will need to source parts, a transformer, and most importantly a suitable fuse.

WARNING

This PCB is intended to be used with hot pointy things and dangerous voltages. This is a community developed board, copies are available to interested experimenters. NO SUPPORT OR WARRANTY IS AVAILABLE WHATSOEVER. This project is not recommended for anyone.
