Rocketscream.com released their all-in-one Arduino compatible reflow controller powered by ATmega328P with OLED screen and built-in USB port. This reflow controller replaces the beloved "Tiny Reflow Controller V1" which had a character LCD display. Let's see what's new on this...

NASE 2 Tools Nano Rework station is one of the best solutions for soldering and rework of SMD components requiring the highest precision. It works simultaneously with the NT115-A Nano Handpiece and the AN115 Steady Nano Tweezers. The short distance from the tip to the handle offers...

New soldering station WE1010 proves that even a very decent station can be available at an affordable price. It´s primarily designed for schools, students, demanding hobbyists, developers etc. Having a reliable Weller station without paying more than 150 Euro (excl. VAT) sounds quite...

Making solid connections between electrical components on a board is an important part of many hardware projects. A good solder joint forms an alloy at the surface of the PCB and the component lead. During soldering, a solder connection on a circuit board can quickly turn into a real...

smdprutser.nl build a soldering iron controller based on PIC16F1823: In series thermocouple soldering iron have a thermocouple in series with their heating element and thus only have two connections (actually one more which is electrically connected to the tip for ESD purposes). When a...

REFLO is a stylish, portable reflow oven for creators and makers to easily, quickly, and professionally prototype their IoT device, wearable, small robot, etc. REFLO’s features: Portable at only 6” x 6” x 2” - it’s the worlds smallest reflow oven Efficient as it...

This video shows how to drag solder SMD parts with a high density package (in this video a Xilinx XC9572XL with VQFP 64 pin package is used). Drag soldering SMD parts with a flux pen -...

vlk @ hackaday.io build a very nice soldering pen with a OLED display. I found some projects where is used Weller soldering tips designed for WMRP soldering iron with standard 3.5mm jack and inside the tip is also thermocouple for sensing temperature. These tips are not so cheap but...
