    CORRECTION!!!!
    - Use the IRLZ44N not the IRFZ44N. The PCB label and schematic on the video lacked the "L". Your MOSFET will run hot if you use the non-logic level IRFZ44N MOSFET. For MOSFET alternatives visit the instructable link. I personally prefer the IRLB4132.
    - Due to tiny revisions, please refer to the file package schematics or the instructable tutorial. I update them often for typos and corrections. The one on the Google drive is all fixed.
    - To those who ordered my PCB you should be good to go, the tiny errors in the schematic and PDF files had nothing to do with the PCB links.
    - I accidentally swapped and mislabeled Vin and Vout from the voltage divider equation when I was transcribing my hand written docs. The computation wasn't affected.

    Fantastic, you made me go to back to Proteus again (abandoned since 2014). I will try a slight add thinking on using it hours in a real job. I miss someting to reduce temp when device is in support unused waiting for Next solder attempt. I think a LDR placed on the external support could do the job, when dark comes "handle on support" the arduino could pass to económic Mode. When darkness goes away "Handle out of support" back to normal Mode again. Just an additional 2 pin plug for the external LDR and some board modification.

  • @John_Smith__
    @John_Smith__ 3 роки тому +1

    Good project but ... there are some issues with this setup:
    1- The very cheap Hakko clones handles do not have ceramic heaters. I storngly suggest replacing the heating element for the Hakko 1321.
    2- If the heating element is a Hakko 1321 (or clone of that) ceramic heating element then the iron will have 50W of power and have JK junction sensors, not thermistors.
    3- Even if IRFZ44N is a logic level mosfet (for 5V logic) at least for up to 10A-20A Drain current it requires a drive since you're actuating the mosfet with a PWM cycle. I imagine the PWM cycle could reach 30KHz-50KHz ... so that means a transistor to drive the base is necessary.
    4- A simple linear regulator even in a TO-92 package would suffice to be the source power for the arduino and Display there's no need for the module used although of course that works also.

    • @TechBuilder
      @TechBuilder  3 роки тому +2

      Thanks! I did mention in in the video to replace the clone heating element with an original one, they're pretty cheap too. Yep, other models use thermocouples, the MAX6675 would work well with k-types. The PWM frequency with pin 10 was left on Arduino's default frequency of 490Hz, the IRFZ44N should suffice. I've built three of these already, they're pretty stable. The IRLB4132 on the other hand is my favourite logic level MOSFETs for most PWM projects below 30V. For the regulator, I'm assuming you're referring to the 78L05. Dont forget, that the LCD backlight is relatively power hungry if a linear regulator were to be used for a 24V-5V voltage difference (if vin is bypassed). The system on standby runs at around 0.12A at 5V, at 24V the heat dissipated is around 2.2W, most TO-92 linear regulators are limited to 1W. In my experience these often fail fast when the thermals are neglected. The TO-220 7805 would be a wise choice, but heatsinking would probably be required. Regardless if it was board mounted or D2PAK soldered, it's going to dissipate too much heat. I went with the buck since the specific model to keep the board small, cool and effecient. Bucks are kinda cheap these days :) But I guess there's no stopping on anyone who decides to hotwire a linear reg on the buck pins.

    • @John_Smith__
      @John_Smith__ 3 роки тому

      @@TechBuilder If you only use 490Hz then it may be stable since the gate will have time to discharge and charge with not a significant amount of RC dumping effect. But the change for a 1321 ceramic heating element I strongly suggest. It's a big difference specially when it comes to heating times. It heats to the setpoint temperature much faster then those pre-instaled in very cheap 907 handles. And also they're not that expensive.
      I also prefer the IRBL4132 but I think I have the same problem you have ... a ton of IRFZ44N lying around waiting to be used :)
      About the linear regulator well with the display being a 1602 you're right a TO-220 would be advisable, with a heatsink. Like I said the small buck converter works just fine.

    Most thermal compounds are not able to withstand 350°C and will degrade. Make sure you choose high temp stuff

    Why did you run the +5V on the pcb from the Arduino that power's up the LM358 and the LCD display through the A3 pin of the Arduino?, does that not affect something?, and still the schematic doesn't show that connection. And another thing is that driving the mosfet directly from Arduino is not quite ideal because the output is only 5V and the mosfet will not be fully opened and will run a bit hot, you need at least 10 V on the gate.

    Why use a nano when any ATtiny would suffice? I’d also seriously considering overvolting it to 30-36VDC. There’s little risk of the element fusing, especially if you use a PID algorithm to stop the temperature rising so quickly, but it could be a great help when working on heavy gauge materials.
    I’d also like to see this done with a T12 handle, as the cartridge tips tend to have significantly better thermal performance, if for a higher price. Their thermistor layout is also kinda odd from what I remember, so temperature sensing may be more difficult.

      While ATtiny is cheaper, the beginner's in electronics are much more familiar with the Nano. Overvolting is a good idea but tiny bucks that can support above 30V are harder to find for the newbies. This tutorial was made in a way to let beginners get into MCUs and not scare them away. I have separate tech savy tutorial segments like the recent MPPT SCC where I didn't hold back from the component selection. I might revisit this old project and make a beefier and complex version of it. There's also a better version of the T12, I might use it if I were to revisit this project.

      It would! :D I attached it to a 6S li-ion pack when I was soldering my solar panel's line when I was soldering on the roof 😅 I made a tiny version of this with some 18650 slots and a belt buckle.

    Thank you for your project, i made it but for the first while it doesn't work because you have missed the GND wire on you PCB (PDF) and when i added this wire every thing is was ok. So thanks any way.

      I meant the old one. I just added a USB passthrough so I can connect the old TS100 to USB-C, never knew they have a USB-C version now. The cost was roughly about $7, from where I got my parts (excluding the power supply).
