Code Examples

The following code examples demonstrate how to use the 230V 50W SOLDRON Soldering Iron with an Arduino board and a temperature control unit.

### Example 1: Basic Temperature Control using Arduino

In this example, we will use the Arduino Uno board to control the temperature of the soldering iron using a temperature sensor and a relay module.

Components Required

Arduino Uno board
 230V 50W SOLDRON Soldering Iron
 Temperature sensor (e.g., DS18B20)
 Relay module (e.g., SRD-05VDC-SL-C)

Code
```cpp
const int relayPin = 2;  // Pin connected to relay module
const int tempPin = A0;  // Pin connected to temperature sensor

void setup() {
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(tempPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int tempC = getTemperature();
  if (tempC < 350) {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH); // Heat the soldering iron
  } else {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW); // Stop heating the soldering iron
  }
  delay(1000);
}

int getTemperature() {
  int tempReading = analogRead(tempPin);
  float voltage = tempReading  5.0 / 1024.0;
  float tempC = (voltage - 0.5)  100.0;
  return tempC;
}
```
In this example, the Arduino board reads the temperature from the temperature sensor and controls the relay module to switch the soldering iron on or off based on the desired temperature.

### Example 2: Advanced Temperature Control using Python and a Raspberry Pi

In this example, we will use a Raspberry Pi board to control the temperature of the soldering iron using a Python script and a temperature control unit.

Components Required

Raspberry Pi board
 230V 50W SOLDRON Soldering Iron
 Temperature control unit (e.g., DS1307)
 Power supply for Raspberry Pi and temperature control unit

Code
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Set up GPIO pins
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT)  # Pin connected to temperature control unit

def set_temperature(temp_c):
  if temp_c < 200:
    GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)  # Set temperature to low
  elif temp_c < 300:
    GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)  # Set temperature to medium
  else:
    GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)  # Set temperature to high

while True:
  temp_c = get_temperature()  # Read temperature from temperature control unit
  set_temperature(temp_c)  # Set temperature based on reading
  time.sleep(1)

def get_temperature():
  # Read temperature from temperature control unit ( implementation depends on the unit used)
  pass
```
In this example, the Raspberry Pi board uses a Python script to read the temperature from the temperature control unit and set the temperature of the soldering iron accordingly.

Note: The above code examples are for demonstration purposes only and may require modifications based on the specific temperature control unit and relay module used. Always ensure proper safety precautions when working with high-voltage components.
