Why build your own?
There are similar products on the market. For instance this one:
I bought one of this, but I just dislike it. The rotary encoder does not have proper SW debounce and the settings are sometimes decrementing when you want them incremented. The mV/*C setting corresponds to a type K thermocouple, but the actual tip has something like a type C one or something around 20 or 21mV/*C. This means that these funny soldering stations are displaying 350*C and they really heat up to 550 damaging the tip. The menus are just P01, P02.. and you never know what they mean when you need to set something. I just want something that I can trust.
Thank you for such amazing shared project. Hope you're doing great Nowadays. Silly question, May you point me Which or What software get. IAR have many Technologies options, and all of them ain't free. Free 30 trial version are limited to program only 4 kbytes, limitation of Source code for runtime libraries, so if you may light me which software did you use? it would be great! have a wonderful day.
