Arduino Based Desoldering Gun
Im building an arduino based desoldering gun controller owing to the fact I bought the gun without a base station very cheap. Currently its pretty dumb but functional. Plans include adding lcd, rotary encoder for temp control and a unified code base
Arduino Nano
RS Pro Desoldering Gun
2 Mosfets
heatsink to fit mosfets
30mm 5v cooling fan
6 1k resistors (values arent important being used for pullup and gate-drain along with io protection)
470uF 35v elecotrolytic capacitor
car tyre inflator pump (12v emergency inflator kit type taken from a scrap peugeot car) modified to be vacuum pump modifications depend on your particular pump but you need to remove valving from pump and add a pair of check valves
2 aquarium check valves
3d printed valve block
