HP (@banjohat)I've just spend about 850$ on PCBs.. The soldering pen is going to production :)
I still need to tweak firmware and make a programming jig. PCB's will arrive next week.
Also this project will be further updated on my own site: http://embryonic.dk

Congratulations. I am looking forward for the order button :)

Yay! Don't know whether it was coincidence or foresight, but last week I ordered a Weller RT tip. Had to order a few big elco's for my NAD power amplifier at Digikey and saw it as a good opportunity to fill the gap to free shipping. Good to hear the Soldering Pen will finally be produced :)

Nice! I spent a good part of the last two weeks redesigning the board for 0603 components. Then I got a quote on production on the pen, but then I read the article on HaD about outsourcing. Then I decided to make them completely by myself. 0603's are plenty big and I'm getting really close now!
