Pin Configuration

Desoldering Pump Documentation
The Desoldering Pump is an essential component in the realm of electronics and IoT, facilitating the removal of solder from electronic components and PCBs. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the pins on a typical Desoldering Pump module and guides on how to connect them.
Pin Descriptions:
1. VCC:
Function: Power supply pin
Description: This pin provides the power supply to the Desoldering Pump module. Typically, a voltage of 5V to 12V is recommended, depending on the specific module's requirements.
Connection: Connect to a suitable power source, such as a battery or a regulated power supply.
2. GND:
Function: Ground pin
Description: This pin provides the ground reference for the Desoldering Pump module.
Connection: Connect to a suitable ground point, such as a battery negative terminal or a ground plane on a PCB.
3. TRIG:
Function: Trigger pin
Description: This pin is used to trigger the desoldering pump's operation. Typically, a high signal (>2V) activates the pump, while a low signal (<0.8V) deactivates it.
Connection: Connect to a digital output pin of a microcontroller or a suitable signal source.
4. SENS:
Function: Temperature sensor pin (optional)
Description: This pin connects to an onboard temperature sensor, which monitors the pump's temperature. This feature is optional and may not be present on all Desoldering Pump modules.
Connection: Connect to an analog input pin of a microcontroller or a temperature monitoring circuit.
5. LED:
Function: LED indicator pin (optional)
Description: This pin connects to an onboard LED indicator, which signals the pump's operation. This feature is optional and may not be present on all Desoldering Pump modules.
Connection: Connect to a digital output pin of a microcontroller or a suitable signal source.
Connection Structure:
To connect the Desoldering Pump module, follow this point-by-point structure:
Step 1: Power Connection
Connect the VCC pin to a suitable power source (e.g., a 5V or 12V power supply).
Connect the GND pin to a suitable ground point (e.g., a battery negative terminal or a ground plane on a PCB).
Step 2: Trigger Connection
Connect the TRIG pin to a digital output pin of a microcontroller or a suitable signal source.
Ensure the trigger signal meets the recommended voltage levels (high >2V, low <0.8V).
Step 3: Optional Connections
If the module has a temperature sensor (SENS pin), connect it to an analog input pin of a microcontroller or a temperature monitoring circuit.
If the module has an LED indicator (LED pin), connect it to a digital output pin of a microcontroller or a suitable signal source.
Important Considerations:
Before connecting the Desoldering Pump module, ensure you have consulted the specific datasheet or documentation provided by the manufacturer, as pinouts and voltage requirements may vary.
Take necessary safety precautions when working with electrical components, such as using protective equipment and ensuring a safe working environment.
Follow proper soldering techniques and safety guidelines when desoldering components to avoid damage to the pump, components, or PCBs.
By following this documentation and considering the specific requirements of your Desoldering Pump module, you can successfully integrate it into your IoT project or electronic assembly.

void setup() {
  pinMode(pumpPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Turn on the pump
  digitalWrite(pumpPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000); // Hold the pump on for 1 second

// Turn off the pump
  digitalWrite(pumpPin, LOW);
  delay(1000); // Hold the pump off for 1 second
}
```
