Interfacing and Control

The Soldron 75W/230V High Quality Soldering Iron can be controlled and interfaced with various microcontrollers and single-board computers using analog or digital temperature control methods.

Example 1: Arduino-based Temperature Control

In this example, we will use an Arduino Uno board to control the temperature of the soldering iron using a digital temperature controller (e.g., DS18B20).

Hardware Requirements

Arduino Uno board
 DS18B20 digital temperature sensor
 Soldron 75W/230V High Quality Soldering Iron
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Code
```cpp
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

// Pin connections
const int tempPin = 2;  // DS18B20 data pin
const int ironPin = 9;  // Soldering iron control pin (digital output)

OneWire oneWire(tempPin);
DallasTemperature tempSensor(&oneWire);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  tempSensor.begin();
  pinMode(ironPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Read temperature from DS18B20
  int tempC = tempSensor.getTempCByIndex(0);
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(tempC);
  Serial.println(" C");

// Set iron temperature based on sensor reading
  if (tempC < 250) {
    digitalWrite(ironPin, HIGH);  // Turn on iron
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ironPin, LOW);  // Turn off iron
  }
  delay(500);
}
```
Example 2: Raspberry Pi-based Analog Temperature Control

In this example, we will use a Raspberry Pi board to control the temperature of the soldering iron using an analog voltage output from the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins.

Hardware Requirements

Raspberry Pi board
 Soldron 75W/230V High Quality Soldering Iron
 Breadboard and jumper wires
 1 k resistor
 10 k potentiometer

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

# Pin connections
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
ironPin = 17  # Soldering iron control pin (analog output)
tempPin = 18  # Potentiometer input pin (analog input)

GPIO.setup(ironPin, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(tempPin, GPIO.IN)

# Set up PWM output for iron control
pwm = GPIO.PWM(ironPin, 50)  # 50 Hz PWM frequency
pwm.start(0)  # Initial duty cycle 0%

while True:
    # Read potentiometer value (0-1023)
    potValue = GPIO.input(tempPin)
    # Map potentiometer value to iron temperature (150C-450C)
    tempC = int((potValue / 1023.0)  300 + 150)
    # Set iron temperature using PWM duty cycle
    dutyCycle = int((tempC - 150) / 300.0  100)
    pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(dutyCycle)
    time.sleep(0.1)
```
