Hi all!
I just received my Pinecil today, and was keen to try it out. However, the tip does not heat up, and before calibration the display showed a very high temperature readout (420+ degrees C) while the iron remained at room temperature.
Enabling "Advanced Options" => "Detailed Idle Screen" reveals that the tip is not detected by the Pinecil. The message "TIP DISCONNECTED" persists, regardless of which tip I insert, and the status of the locking screw.
I have not tried to use the grounding connection as yet, and my power sources tested so far have all been USB-C PD.
This issue persists upon updating to the latest release of the firmware, using the provided firmware flashing documentation.
I believe this may be a hardware issue or user error, hence my post here. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their Pinecil?
