Dimensions: 120mm x 80mm x 50mmCode ExamplesExample 1: Basic Temperature Control using PythonIn this example, we will demonstrate how to control the temperature of the Soldron IST-100 Eddy Current Soldering Station using Python. We will use the PySerial library to communicate with the soldering station via USB.PrerequisitesPython 3.x
PySerial library (install using `pip install pyserial`)
Soldron IST-100 Eddy Current Soldering Station connected to the computer via USBCode
```python
import serial# Open the serial connection to the soldering station
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1) # Replace 'COM3' with the actual COM port# Set the temperature to 250C
ser.write(b't250
') # Send the temperature command to the soldering station
response = ser.readline() # Read the response from the soldering station
print(response.decode()) # Print the response (should be 'OK' if successful)# Get the current temperature
ser.write(b't?
') # Send the temperature query command
response = ser.readline()
print(f'Current temperature: {response.decode()}') # Print the current temperature# Close the serial connection
ser.close()
```
Example 2: Advanced Temperature Profiling using C++In this example, we will demonstrate how to create a temperature profile using C++ to control the Soldron IST-100 Eddy Current Soldering Station. We will use the libusb library to communicate with the soldering station via USB.PrerequisitesC++ compiler (e.g., GCC)
libusb library (install using `apt-get install libusb-dev` on Linux or `brew install libusb` on macOS)
Soldron IST-100 Eddy Current Soldering Station connected to the computer via USBCode
```c
#include <libusb.h>
#include <iostream>int main() {
// Initialize the libusb library
libusb_init(NULL);// Open the device ( Soldron IST-100 Eddy Current Soldering Station )
libusb_device dev = libusb_open(0x03eb, 0x6124, NULL); // Replace with the actual device ID
if (!dev) {
std::cerr << "Failed to open device" << std::endl;
return 1;
}// Set the temperature profile
unsigned char data[4] = {0x54, 0x32, 0x10, 0x00}; // Profile: 250C for 10 seconds
libusb_control_transfer(dev, 0x21, 0x09, 0x200, 0x00, data, 4, 1000);// Start the temperature profile
data[0] = 0x53; // Start command
libusb_control_transfer(dev, 0x21, 0x09, 0x200, 0x00, data, 1, 1000);// Wait for the profile to complete
sleep(10);// Get the current temperature
unsigned char temp_data[2];
libusb_control_transfer(dev, 0xA1, 0x01, 0x200, 0x00, temp_data, 2, 1000);
std::cout << "Current temperature: " << (temp_data[0] << 8) | temp_data[1] << "C" << std::endl;// Close the device
libusb_close(dev);
libusb_exit(NULL);
return 0;
}
