ide0007

The author is a fan of digital products, which originates from his strong interest in home appliance maintenance since he was in primary school. It may be funny to say that my dream at that time was to become an expert in home appliance maintenance. When other students ran to the game room to play the game machine after school, the author went to the home appliance repair shop near the school to watch the master repair the TV. At that time, I felt that electronic components were really amazing. A few capacitance resistance diodes could be assembled into various electrical appliances.

So the author began to plead with his parents to help him buy a multimeter, electric soldering iron and other tools “ repair ” The way. The first is all kinds of dismantling, which is to dismantle broken recorders and other electrical appliances in the home into original ones one by one, but they can never be put back. It was my first time to contact the electric soldering iron. When I first learned to use the electric soldering iron, my hands were covered with burnt scars, and my memory is still fresh.

Because of academic and work reasons, I have not touched electrical appliance maintenance for many years, until I contacted digital products and became an appraiser. I began to dismantle the machine in order to evaluate hardware, and finally picked up the electric soldering iron again, smelling the familiar rosin smell, I still felt a little.

In fact, this is to show that although the author is not specialized in electrical appliances and is not very skilled in using electric soldering irons and other equipment, he still has a deep feeling for electric soldering irons. When you get this TS100 When the mini electric soldering iron is used, the mood is actually very excited. This is a device completely different from the traditional electric soldering iron. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has LED It shows that it also has an intelligent heart, and the acceleration sensor is a highlight. So this one TS100 How about the mini soldering iron?

In fact, electric soldering iron is not a product with high technical content. One handle, one thermal conductive metal head, and one heating core are all accessories. They are even less expensive ten You can buy it for yuan. This is a traditional electric soldering iron. With the advent of the intelligent era, electric soldering irons have also begun to enter the intelligent field, so we can see that some electric soldering irons with intelligent temperature control are beginning to appear on the market. Most of these products are under the banner of Taiwan, Japan, etc., with ugly appearance and poor quality. Although the function is OK, it won't be long before it goes bad, leading to poor reviews on e-commerce platforms. At present, the most high-end electric soldering iron should be the soldering station. The representative brand is Baiguang. In fact, it is a traditional electric soldering iron plus a huge desktop host. The temperature of the electric soldering iron can be controlled and displayed through the host (soldering station). Such soldering stations are generally sold four hundred The welding platform is heavy and difficult to move and carry.

And the one evaluated today TS100 The mini electric soldering iron not only has all the functions of the welding station, but also has many other powerful functions, And this is the first model to use acceleration sensors and U The electric soldering iron configured in the disk file. Most importantly, TS100 Very small, smaller than the traditional electric soldering iron.

When I got it, I thought it was a little heavy. When I didn't open the package, I still thought that the weight was not portable or mini. Who knew that the first thing I saw after opening the package was the power supply of the electric soldering iron. Entire packaged 90% The weight is all on this power supply, and the small black box inside is the real one TS100 Electric iron.

Although I only got the test version, it is still equipped with a power supply, which is very user-friendly. You should know that the products sold on the official website are not equipped with a power supply, although only one 2P Power supply, but the price of a certain treasure is basically one hundred About yuan.

What I got this time is TS100 Of B2 suit. Open the box, you can see TS100 The electric soldering iron is divided into two parts, the handheld intelligent control part and the electric soldering iron head. The one I got is B2 The electric soldering iron attached to the suit is conical and can be used in most occasions.

The intelligent control part is like a pen, The length is about ten Cm, and these components include intelligent temperature control and OLED Screen, but only weight twenty K, very light. The handshake is black, slightly frosted, very comfortable and light.

On the intelligent control part, there are two buttons, close to LED 's button is called a button A , the button near the soldering iron head is called the button B These two buttons are used for all control operations of this intelligent electric soldering iron.

At the top of the control end, there is a MicroUSB Interfaces and DC5525 Interface, MicroUSB The interface is used to connect the computer through the data cable for firmware upgrade and program setting. DC5525 The interface is used to supply power for the whole electric soldering iron 12V-24V You can also use any DC5525 The laptop power supply of the interface is used for power supply, and the compatibility is very good.

stay LED There is a screw for grounding wire on the side of the. When using the electric soldering iron, it is better to connect a grounding wire for safety. This requires a separate alligator clip for grounding wire ten You can buy it for yuan.

TS100 The display element of electric soldering iron adopts a long XX wide XX Of OLED The display screen can display English, Chinese and pictorial symbols, which is very clear at a glance.

stay AB There is also a screw beside the button, which is used to fix the soldering iron head. TS100 The electric soldering iron adopts a replaceable design, and users can purchase different soldering iron heads according to their needs for replacement. Experienced in the interface part ten thousand The secondary plugging test ensures that users can replace freely.

Since it is a mini electric soldering iron, the volume is natural and compact. Does it look like a pen? And the total weight after the soldering iron head is installed is only thirty-one Gram.

In fact, most of the weight is on the power adapter, so if the power cord is included, the total weight of this electric soldering iron is about two hundred and thirty-two Gram. However, if you have a high voltage notebook mobile power supply, it is a perfect match.

The use of this electric soldering iron is also extremely simple. Next, the author will experiment to see what features and differences this intelligent electric soldering iron has.

First, assemble the soldering iron head and handle. The author has only one B2 In fact, the most convenient thing is K Head, but this time there is no equipment, so I have to make do with it. Use a small hexagonal screwdriver provided to tighten the screws.

Then connect the power supply and connect it.

At this time, the display screen of the electric soldering iron will show an indication, allowing you to press B Keys, in fact, don't care AB The key can be easily understood through the displayed icon.

Before the finger leaves the button, you can see that the electric soldering iron starts to heat up. The heating speed is very fast, and it will rise to the preset time in a few seconds three hundred Degrees. When the temperature rises, the display screen will also have an indicator of temperature rise. three hundred The degree is the factory default setting, which is sufficient to meet most welding needs. Users can also use the USB The interface is configured by itself.

At this time, the electric soldering iron can be used for operation. The effect is very good, but B2 The head is not very comfortable to use, which is also the reason why I like it personally.

This temperature can also be adjusted when using the electric soldering iron B When the key is pressed, the display screen will show the temperature adjustment interface, and you can adjust the temperature by pressing the key.

Interestingly, because this electric soldering iron is equipped with an acceleration sensor, when the head of the electric soldering iron is facing up, press the button to cool down, and when the head of the electric soldering iron is facing down, press the button to warm up. Although the acceleration sensor can be used as a selling point, I think it is overqualified. In fact, this acceleration sensor can be used for more purposes. For example, a safety protection function is added. When the electric soldering iron is detected to fall, it will automatically cut off power for cooling protection to avoid burning things on the ground.

The cooling process is slightly slower than the heating process, and the minimum setting temperature can be set at one hundred Degrees.

It is said to be an intelligent electric soldering iron because it also has some intelligent functions. For example, if you turn on the machine without inserting an old iron head, you will be prompted“ Sen-Err ”, error reporting. Instead, use USB When the cable is connected to the computer, it will display“ CONFIG ”。

When using USB When the cable is connected to the computer, a super small U Disk, worthy of mini Electric soldering iron, connected U There are only 8K Size Mini U Disk, which contains only one file“ CONFIG.TXT ”Open it and you can see the corresponding parameters. You can set the operation of the electric soldering iron by modifying the numbers and saving them. It is very convenient.

Since it is an intelligent device, it can be upgraded by brushing. When you press B Key to connect to the computer, another U Disk, here is the machine cleaning file. You just need to download the latest firmware from the official website and follow the tutorial to clean the machine. If the electric soldering iron can be used normally, the author does not recommend random machine cleaning. The author will not test it here.

In fact, this electric soldering iron also has a fun egg, which can be customized LOGO . On CONFIG Pattern. Name your design as“ LOGOIN.BMP ”Save the monochrome graphic file of U In disk, next time in DC When the socket is powered on, the screen will display personalized LOGO It's very interesting. If you can play, you can customize a unique electric soldering iron.

After a lot of testing and trial, the author thinks that this TS100 The mini electric soldering iron can be said to be a subversive product, which definitely creates a precedent in the product industry of electric soldering iron. Whether it is multiple protection, acceleration sensor or intelligent temperature control, it is a great design and absolutely an essential tool for electronic engineers.
