PINECIL – Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron, New Version 2

Product Information

He is a creative technologist and for seven years has created projects to educate and inspire minds both young and old. V2 can handle a DC barrel supply up to 24V without modifying the PCB (always check polarity, must be a center-positive jack). I suspect I’ll be acquiring a new USB-PD power supply and a set of adapter cables for various DC sources to go everywhere with my Pinecil. For most soldering tasks, it all depends on what you are soldering and what the nearest power source is.

InfiniSim, the InfiniTime simulator, has also received a couple of new features: it now supports InfiniTime animations (vertical and horizontal transitions) and allows recording screen capture in GIF format. e., overcurrent spikes, the chips are designed to go into a cycle-by-cycle sleep state, protecting the device. This month we’re introducing the Pinecil V2 – an evolution of the original Pinecil – and taking a closer look at the Star64 RISC-V SBC. e., laptop) shows DC Low, this is enough for firmware updates and to view the menu, but not to run the soldering iron.Things staying the same in V2: it still uses a RISC-V processor, but adds noticeable upgrades to the hardware. Change this only if you are having issues with your QC charger (lower the PD timeout to see if that will help QC charger work). Then, gently push the tip all the way back until the wide collar/guard is touching the front of the plastic (see photo). If you use a random DC barrel charger, first Check the Polarity of the plug to make sure it is Center Positive before using it. Portable and features a sleek and slim design, comprised of an SAE 304 stainless steel core housed inside a polycarbonate shell.

there is no official V2 update available yet, but when it is available, there will be an Update Flash method to go with it.

I firmly believe that everyone with the capability and interest in using a soldering iron should have access to one because it changes your relationship with tech in a fundamental way. If you are truly “in the field” with no access to an outlet, you can power Pinecil V2 from a USB C powerbank, as long as it can produce the necessary voltage.There is still some testing needed, which will help us characterize the single board computer’s qualities and performance. The Miniware irons are good tools and remain a very sensible purchase, but by now they are starting to reflect their age.

It’s a beautifully thought out device that is the equal of the best of its competition in this aspect. The inclusion of BLE is directly inspired by discussions that have been going on in the community chat for the Pinecil, and we are looking forward to seeing where the community takes the new feature set.

The TS101 comes with a TS-B2 10mm conical tip and can use the same soldering tips as the venerable TS100 (but not the TS80) and both versions of Pinecil. Both provide enough thermal mass to make contact with the component and PCB, but the chisel affords a little more precision.
