Last post by Pish - Today at 07:26:42 AMAm I right in saying that the inverse here is same as reverse?
So not much change between no feedback (at full resistance) and 2 but better smoother control for the rest of the range?

Last post by jwin615 - Today at 02:13:59 AMHad a aoyue 936(the older, bigger one) for 15ish years. It has no bells and whistles but works fine. Takes 90-120 seconds to get to full heat but maintains really well.
Auto off is a good function to have though and would recommend it in any new purchase scenario. I like the S7 tip. Only use genuine Hakko tips. Never had a knockoff T18 that was half the weight of a Hakko.

Last post by jimilee - Today at 01:06:02 AMSounds like a part was subbed, BUT the C10 will give you a little more control than the A10.

Last post by Pish - May 16, 2024, 11:08:34 PMHey!
I got the Dandy Horse kit from Musikding and the BOM says that the feedback pot should be A10K but they sent me a C10K. Is this right or should I replace it with what the BOM asks?
Is the build guide out of date or have they subbed a part in to get the kit out to me. (Also other bits missing but not the end of the world, tho, this seems to be a consistent theme with them for me)
Cheers crew!

Last post by jessenator - May 16, 2024, 06:35:34 PMI hear ya. Knob control temp is preferable. In addition to buttons, the 951 also has that key lock arrangement, which is weird, and frustrating sometimes if you forget which keys do what. Do like the sleep timer.

Last post by derevaun - May 16, 2024, 05:34:48 PMI think it's definitely an "if it works it works" thing with the cheap T12 stations. I grabbed it as a backup for the FX888D, though I primarily use it nowadays and moved the FX888D to my work office. I prefer the sleep timing, and the single knob control. But I still wouldn't call it 100% dependable.
I'm not going to make a big deal of the FX888D's button control scheme, but I did notice that the new FX888DX went back to a single knob.

Glad yours is still working. I think I was driven by emotion to jump right into Hakkoland. My hot air and suction desolderer are both knock-offs. Bought them from Circuit Specialists, who seem to guarantee their wares—maybe I should've bought that first T12/15 iron from them...

Last post by derevaun - May 16, 2024, 09:33:55 AMD16 is great for general work, IMHO. I've used it on dozens of neopixel strip connections, including the narrow strips, with no discomfort. I'm still using the original stock tip (I also use a D16 on a T12 knock-off iron).
Conventional wisdom is that pointier tips give less heat transfer, though sometimes a necessary trade-off. I like the BC1.5 for SMD, and I'm interested to try the BC1, as soon as this BC1.5 stops looking brand new.
People seem to like the Aoyue 936, which is a little cheaper.
