    Cheap Hot Air Station With Arduino

    by dinconnu

    first , it's my first instructable and i'm not native in english so be gentle

    I had an idea weeks ago , build a hot air station for cheap , very cheap , i don't need a big stuff just a little station
    for few soldering.

    i've find on ebay the 858 hot air station but to expensive for me, so i just buy the handle for 8 euros! and i have
    built a circuit with a arduino to control this handle.

    lets go!

    Step 1: Study the Handle !

    The handle comes with 8 pins: 1 wire for the earth the yellow

    2 wires for the heater , it works with 220v ac ( i dont 2 wire for the thermocouple red (plus ) and black
    know for 110v) it is the grey and the white wire.
    now how to control this?
    2 wires for the 24v dc fan plus is blue ans gnd is
    brown i will separate in section the rest of the project

    1 wire for the reed switch the green first the heating

    Step 2: The Heating Control

    the objectif is realy simple : start and stop the heating with a logic command of 5v .

    But we can't do that with 220 vac easily the solution : a triac and an optocoupler,

    tric is like a relay but static , it is control by an optocoupler to secure the rest of the circuit.

    it is done here with a moc3063 and BTA140-800

    Step 3: The Fan Control

    the fan works with a 24vdc, it must be activated always when the gun is hot .

    we have two commands: the first is to power on the fan with the arduino it's a simple transistor . the second is a
    potentiometer to control the speed .

    note: here the components are not the best, i take what a had in stock and it works great!

    Step 4: The Arduino

    the arduino nano control all the things, I put 2 push buttons to control the temperature and a
    lcd , the lcd is control by i2C it's overkill but i only had
    to measure the temperature i used a module with a this in stock so i used it!
    max 6675 connect directly to the thermocoupler of the
    handle, there is a led wich is lighting when the heater is on

    the max6675 is connect by spi to the arduino and the to conclude the arduino is connect to my card build
    supply library is very simple to use. earlier.

    Step 5: The Code:

    My code is the simplest possible: with the two button you adjust the temperature.

    first: i don't implement for the moment the reed use that's all.
    when you put-on the station the gun is always on!
    Off course it's not perfect but i thought it would be a
    then we read the temperature if it is lower than the good starting point for all the beginner in electronic.
    consigne the heater is put on , and stop when it reach
    the goal !

    Step 6: The Final

    what's next?

    in the future i would like to add the reed switch support , ( i've ordered in china the handle support) and most
    important the pid for the temperature management,

    if you'd like to implement fonctions please be free and contact me , i will be very happy to test it!
