Overview

Weller loddestasjon is an open-source printed circuit board by kagjerde, from the kagjerde/Arduino-based-soldering-station repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 34 parts on 43 nets, routed with 259 tracks and 4 vias.

It is built around the BC547 and IRF9540NS. Its parts include 19 resistors, 5 capacitors, 5 connectors, 2 transistors and 1 IC. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Arduino-soldering-station

This is a soldering station using Weller RT soldering tips.

  • The project files contains 3D model for the housing and a PCB board using Arduino Nano microcontroller.
  • Source code is written i C, and uses PID library for temperature control.
  • PCB files are generated in KiCad, and include Gerber files.
  • The project uses Arduino Nano board for the microcontroller.


This project is based on ConnyCola's soldering station, but uses a modified source code and 3D model.

The display show the following information:

The display will change colour from Cyan, Yellow, and Green dependent on the difference between SET and ACTual temperature.
The SET point will be set to 20 degrees if the soldering tip it placed in the holder, or the selector button is pressed once - Standby mode.
At the bottom right of the screen, a small bar shows the PWM output in %.


The display will show the temperature curve, repeating approx. every 20 seconds. To enter the Graph mode, the selector switch has to pressed for more than 1 second.

At the bottom left a small dot is showing if the soldering station is in Standby mode.

Questions

What parts does the Weller loddestasjon use?

34 parts, built around the BC547 and IRF9540NS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Weller loddestasjon KiCad files?

From the kagjerde/Arduino-based-soldering-station repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB files/Weller loddestasjon.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Weller loddestasjon design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kagjerde before reusing the design.
