A project log for Intelligent Solder Station

A Solder station with more than just PID

I will be using the 'junk box' for a lot of the bits used.

I found a project box about the right size.

I didn't want to have the Toroidal's mounting bold sticking out the bottom of the box so I made a false bottom by cutting up a cheap bread board from a discount store.

Then mounted it into the box.

I mounted enough of the mains parts so that I could move on to the low voltage stage.

More to come.

Just a quick update (02/01/2015) I am waiting for Type 'K' thermocouple temperature meter so that I can map out the resistance graph for the PTC in the iron.

Most of the components haven't been decided on yet. It will be a 'uino based system with some sort of screen ... LCD or graphic.
