Platino Solder Station
An SMD solder station made from bits and pieces!
Thanks to the versatility of the Platino board, the solder station PCB circuit is very simple. The circuit consists of a Low-noise amplifier to boost the temperature sensor signal and a power MOSFET to switch power to the heating element.
