Gday,
I've just laid my hands on a pinecil v2. I have only the use of one hand due to a disabilty and started thinking whether I might be able to program some features to make soldering easier for me. I heard someone say that there is maybe bluetooth connectivity in the unit. Could the following scenario be possible?
Turn the iron on and off via a remote switch? I'm thinking I could use a "third-hand" of some kind to posistion the iron correctly and then be able to start it heating without touching it. I could then feed solder to a joint with me good hand. And being able to turn it off again would be good for safety. A bit slow and clumsy I know but it's all i can think of fore the moment. I've got one of the ratchet gun feeders from the like of bang good but it's note quite delicat enough and I don't have the budget at the moment for the higher end autofeeding stations.
I'd welcome some suggestions if anybody has any ideas,
Cheers
John
