I like to play with some electronic products since I was young, and I have a special feeling for electric soldering irons. This time, I was lucky to be tried by Lei Feng TS100 The mini soldering iron trial qualification is the first time to experience the charm of intelligent electric soldering iron. Before that, it was never thought that a simple electric soldering iron could play smart. Let's follow me to learn about this thoughtful intelligent electric soldering iron.

packing:

It has to be said that since the revision, Lei Feng's trial has become more and more standardized. Just the label of Lei Feng's trial has wrapped up the tested objects. Seeing this label is also an encouragement for the trial users.

TS100 The packing box of the mini soldering iron is very simple. There is no information about the kraft paper package, so I think it is just a express package.

The power cord is exposed after opening, and the original package on it is already the outer package of the product. The weight of the power cord actually occupies the entire package 80% , which shows this mini Sufficient soldering iron mini . Because of the box in box design, the inner box is today's leading role -TS100 Mini soldering iron.

The inner box adopts the black packaging design, and gives little product information. There is only one product on the front logo , this logo yes MiniDSO Product technology exchange forum logo , this mini The soldering iron comes from the technical experts of the forum.

The back simply indicates the product model is TS100 B2 , no further details. The label Lei Feng tried more prominently announced her source, and brought more information than the product itself.

Open the inner box and you will see today's protagonist -TS100 The mini soldering iron, surprisingly, the main character is split, including the host and the soldering iron head. Could it be that the soldering iron head has various styles and can be replaced freely? In addition, a hexagonal wrench and two small screws were kindly sent to assemble the electric soldering iron.

After disassembly, as usual, take a family photo, including the host, soldering iron head, power supply, instructions, wrench, etc. Next, let's take a closer look at what's famous.

Details:

The power cord is divided into two parts. The front power cord is relatively hard, and the rear power cord is relatively soft and thin, which is suitable for the operation of electric soldering iron.

The power converter output in the middle is 19v ， 2.1A It provides a stable voltage and current for the electric soldering iron, and can more accurately control the temperature of the electric soldering iron. All the converters are marked in English, which is not quite in line with the appetite of Chinese people.

The instructions are also very simple. The first page is only three pages in total, and the English version is on the other side. The manual briefly introduces the instructions for safe use of electric soldering iron, as well as the names and functions of each component, and also introduces the operating steps of firmware upgrade. It is concise and comprehensive. Maybe the technologists don't like Laurie's long winded introduction. They prefer to understand the product's functions in practical operation.

TS100 The body of the mini soldering iron is made of hard plastic and sanded, which has a good feel and can reduce heat conduction to prevent burns. The main highlight of the host is that it is equipped with a OLED Screen, used to display temperature and other information.

In addition to the display screen, there are two buttons on the front of the fuselage: A Keys and B The key is used for temperature setting and firmware upgrading. There is a grounding screw at the right end to discharge static electricity. This design is necessary for welding work with static electricity. The left side of the host is the manufacturer's logo . The back end is the power supply and mini usb Interface, mini USB Used for firmware upgrade.

In addition to the product model, the right side of the fuselage is also marked with " Not for sale, only for testing " This also explains the reason why the previous packaging and product information is incomplete, because this is only a testing machine, not a mass production machine. It is the highest honor to be qualified for the first batch of testing machines.

The material of the soldering iron head is unknown. It adopts a segmented design with ceramic partition at the rear end. This design can improve the heating rate and reduce the backward diffusion of heat. It can also be placed more conveniently.

The host and soldering iron head are locked with screws to prevent them from slipping during use. It is also convenient to disassemble and store when not in use.

use:

This electric soldering iron is very small compared with the old one, and the design of the display screen has left the latter a lot of streets behind. It's just that my old soldering iron should also be laid off.

When the power is turned on, the display screen will show logo And version number, and then the next operation will be prompted. Before the next operation, the electric soldering iron is not heated, which can prevent burns.

At this time, the display continuously prompts that you need to press A Key. This prompt is especially useful for first-time users. The use of icons for keys is also very intuitive.

Press A After the key is pressed, the electric soldering iron starts to heat. When heating, an upward arrow will scroll on the right side of the display screen, indicating that heating is in progress.

The default initial heating temperature of electric soldering iron is three hundred Degrees, when the temperature exceeds three hundred When the angle is 0, it will drop, and the right side is marked by the down arrow.

When the temperature is stabilized at three hundred A horizontal wavy line will be displayed on the right side when the angle is 0, indicating that it has been stabilized. In about ten seconds, the electric soldering iron has been heated and can be welded. The heating speed is very fast, much faster than the ordinary electric soldering iron.

By long press A Key or B Key to adjust the heating temperature of the electric soldering iron. The maximum heating temperature of the electric soldering iron is four hundred Degree, so it cannot be set four hundred The temperature above 0 ℃ can effectively prevent accidents. By setting different temperatures, the failure rate of welding can be reduced and the welding quality can be improved. For example, when some temperature sensitive components need to be welded at a lower temperature, this temperature setting is very necessary.

adopt Mini USB When connected to the computer, the display screen displays config , the computer will display the removable disk, which will be displayed after opening config.txt The following contents can be seen after opening :

The parameters here correspond to the standby temperature, working temperature, waiting time, etc. of the electric soldering iron. These parameters can be adjusted manually, and the adjustment range is adjusted according to the figures in the brackets below. If there is no special case, it is recommended to use the default value.

If you press and hold A Key while setting the mini USB Plug in the computer and the display will show DFU The computer terminal displays an eight digit coded disk. After entering, you can see the firmware file of the soldering iron. By downloading the latest firmware and directly copying it into the disk, you can complete the firmware upgrade.

Summary:

This TS100 The mini soldering iron is very attractive. Its compact shape and intelligent temperature control are very convenient and useful for users. Although intelligent, it is also easy for first-time users. The design is very user-friendly. After several days of trial, there are still some suggestions for this tester:

one     It is suggested that the power cord should be designed more soft. Because the electric soldering iron is very light, if the power cord is too hard, it will often drive the electric soldering iron to run around, and it is not easy to place the electric soldering iron.

two     I hope that the power cord skin can be designed to be made of materials that are not afraid of burning. After all, it often happens that the power cord is scorched.

three     Support accessories are added to make it easier to place when using.

four     Firmware upgrade and parameter configuration can use mobile phones APP To manage.

five     It is recommended to add a power switch, which can be turned off immediately when you do not want to heat, rather than unplugging
