  int desiredTemperature = 350;  // Desired temperature in C
  int currentTemperature = readThermocouple();  // Read thermocouple value (optional)
if (currentTemperature < desiredTemperature) {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);  // Turn on the soldering station
    delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
  } else {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);  // Turn off the soldering station
  }
delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second before checking again
