Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Temperature Control using Arduino
In this example, we will demonstrate how to control the Soldron 8898 using an Arduino Uno board. We will set the temperature of both outlets to 350C.
```c
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define RX_PIN 2
#define TX_PIN 3
SoftwareSerial mySerial(RX_PIN, TX_PIN);
void setup() {
  mySerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  // Set temperature of outlet 1 to 350C
  mySerial.print("T1,350
");
  delay(100);
// Set temperature of outlet 2 to 350C
  mySerial.print("T2,350
");
  delay(100);
}
```
### Example 2: Advanced Soldering Profile using Python
In this example, we will demonstrate how to create a soldering profile using a Python script. We will set the temperature of both outlets to 250C for 30 seconds, then increase the temperature to 380C for 10 seconds, and finally cool down to 150C for 20 seconds.
```python
import serial
import time
# Open serial connection to Soldron 8898
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1)
# Set temperature profile
profile = [
    {"outlet": 1, "temperature": 250, "duration": 30},
    {"outlet": 1, "temperature": 380, "duration": 10},
    {"outlet": 1, "temperature": 150, "duration": 20},
    {"outlet": 2, "temperature": 250, "duration": 30},
    {"outlet": 2, "temperature": 380, "duration": 10},
    {"outlet": 2, "temperature": 150, "duration": 20},
]
# Run temperature profile
for step in profile:
    command = f"T{step['outlet']},{step['temperature']}
"
    ser.write(command.encode())
    time.sleep(step['duration'])
# Close serial connection
ser.close()
```
### Example 3: Integration with a GUI using LabVIEW
In this example, we will demonstrate how to create a graphical user interface (GUI) using LabVIEW to control the Soldron 8898. We will create a front panel with temperature control sliders and a start button to initiate the soldering process.
