As a man who is good at making machines in the new era, he should naturally have his own special tool kit. From the impact drill to the screwdriver, he should naturally choose the best one for himself. Only when Sun Wukong has a golden stirrup stick can he play with dignity. A good man needs a tool to weigh his hands before he can see the truth. Minasang in the toolbox, come out and meet your new members.

There is a feeling that the sword is out of its sheath. The most exciting moment when opening the gift is now. Girls will be happy to receive jewelry, and boys will also be excited to receive good tools. Simple black cardboard packaging box, silver product label, and a greeting from Lei Feng make you feel happy.

Try out the main character. The ts100 mini electric soldering iron is a man's weapon. The soldering iron handle and soldering iron core lie quietly in the shock absorption foam cotton, waiting for the master's call.

Open the box of the ts100, and it is really amazing. It is not as exquisite as an electric soldering iron, but more like a beautiful pen. The original tools can also be so artistic.

The ts100 is really small and light, only about 30g on the whole. Holding it in your hand is like holding a pen.

Ts100 family portrait, one electric soldering iron handle, one bc2 pointed soldering iron core, one operating instruction, one power adapter and one power connection cable, one Allen wrench for removing screws, and two spare hexagon screws. In addition to the soldering iron core and soldering iron handle, other accessories are in the external corrugated box.

The power adapter of ts100 is 19v2.1a. Theoretically, it can be used as long as it is between 12V and 24V. According to the official instructions, the power adapter of the laptop can be used in general. After testing (the author's laptop power adapter is 19V3.95A), it can really be used successfully. This undoubtedly increases the backup power guarantee for ts100.

The overall appearance of the ts100 is designed with frosted coating, which is very textured. At first glance, it will be considered as a metal handle, but it is not. It should be a high-strength composite plastic, but it does have a strong metal style from the hand feel. What I got was a test article, with the words "Not for sale. For test use only" on the outside. In addition, because it is a test product, it is not equipped with other soldering iron cores such as TS-BC2 (pony shoe head) TS-K (cutter head), TS-D24 (shovel head).

Close up of the soldering core interface. There is a hexagon screw at the handle end of the soldering iron to reinforce the soldering core and prevent the soldering core from falling out. The design of the soldering core is relatively novel. The middle part is thin, and the back end has a block design, which makes heating fast and easy to use.

It doesn't look like a pen. The frosted shell and stainless steel match very well.

The front of the ts100 is equipped with an oled display screen, and the effective display is 96 * 16px It occupies half of the whole facade. The six socket screw with grounding mark at the end is a grounding screw. Connect and fix the grounding wire. The front end also has six screws, which are mainly used to fix the soldering iron core. In addition, there are two keys for function setting. The setting methods are different under different working modes.

The tail end of the ts100 has two interfaces, mirco usb interface, which are used to connect the computer. The other is the power adapter interface, which is used to provide current input.

With such a small body, let's take a look at its internal structure. First, we need to remove several screws If the disassembly is complete, the grounding screw needs to be removed, which can be removed with the attached Allen wrench or other hexagonal screwdriver.

When removing the back cover, the hexagon screws fixing the soldering core at the front end also need to be removed.

Then remove the screw on the back of the ts100. This screw is located at the connection between the end of the soldering iron handle and the power adapter. It should be noted that this is a quincunx screw, which can only be removed after replacing the screwdriver. The back cover can be opened after loosening the wood. In addition to the screws, there is a snap design inside. Pay attention when opening.

Remove the screws and open the rear cover. Pay attention to the snap. Carefully remove the rear cover to see the internal circuit board of the ts100. The circuit board is carefully welded, without redundant solder joints, and it is clean and tidy as a whole. If the two screws under the brass contact are removed, the whole circuit board can be removed.

The brain and heart of ts100 - STM32F103T8 microcontroller. Most intelligent operations of ts100 depend on it. Left Square MMA8652 is a three-axis accelerometer of Freescale. With it, the ts100 can judge whether the soldering iron should enter the working state or the sleeping state according to your every move.

The brass contact plate responsible for heating is responsible for butt joint with the brass plate part of the soldering core. Once the soldering core is not inserted in place, it will strike. You must dock it before continuing to work.

The ts100 is small and light. It looks like a pen when you try it out. It can discard the silly and rough appearance. The electric soldering iron can also be artistic.

After about 10 seconds of power on, the electric soldering iron has reached the preset working temperature, and the top of the brand new soldering iron immediately appears a light yellow color after heating.

After startup, there will be a key prompt for operation, and heating will not be carried out without operation. This design is better, which can effectively ensure the service life of the soldering iron. When it is used, it will be heated again, which can also save electricity. The maximum power of ts100 is 65W, and the overall power consumption is less.

In thermometer mode, TS100 can detect and calibrate the temperature of soldering iron by itself.

In DFU mode, the TS100 can be connected to a computer for firmware upgrade.

In addition to connecting the computer for firmware upgrade, the TS100 can also modify the working parameters. Connect the ts100 to the computer with a microusb cable. When CONFIG appears on the display screen of the ts100, you will find an additional USB drive letter on the computer with a capacity of 8kb. There is only one notepad document under the drive letter. This is where you set the parameters of the ts100.

The parameter setting document is in English, and the author adds Chinese notes for the convenience of readers. There are eight parameters, which can be modified at any time according to the actual work experience.

After the introduction, let's try it. The ts100 heats up quickly and can quickly enter the working state. Use it to try to remove a mobile phone. With a touch, the tin spots on the circuit board will fall smoothly, and the tin stuck to the soldering iron head can be removed with a simple scratch. The small and smart soldering head can easily handle some small electronic components, and the intelligent temperature adjustment can effectively prevent the electronic components from being damaged due to excessive temperature. There is specialization in the industry, which is very suitable for making machines. Temperature control is the best thing TS100 does. On the one hand, it can effectively save electricity, and on the other hand, it can adapt to the needs of different working environments. In this era of popular computer and DIY, owning such a unique electric soldering iron will naturally attract many eyes, and maybe it is also possible to pick up girls.

In addition to connecting the computer for firmware upgrade and parameter modification, the ts100 has other interesting ways to play:

Create a 96px * 16px monochrome bitmap. The content can be character painting, English or Chinese, and then save it as LOGOIN BMP， Connect the ts100 to the computer, open the drive letter, copy the bitmap to the root directory, remove the connection between the ts100 and the computer, power on the computer, and you will find that your exclusive electric soldering iron has been successfully created.
