How To Make Arduino Soldering Station (Cheap JBC C245)

In this video I will show you How To Make DIY Arduino Soldering Station for JBC C245 tips, this soldering station is very powerful with very fast heating time.
PCBWay, You can get 5 high-quality 2-layer PCBs for just $5, with fast turnaround times! www.pcbway.com
In my previous videos I made a few versions of this soldering station for T12 tips but now I decided that I should make a verion for C245 tips witch are more powerful.

Thanks for Sharing and another Great project no doubt. The nice part is that, Even if not intended to begin with, the laser engraving is actually very awesome. Does add that "3D feel" to the front pcb.

[@HMProjects]

Thanks, is more to improve to this project, I will make some changes in the future and I will share the updates, as for the laser engraver the idea was to make all the markings and then fill them up with white paint but they were not deep enough ( didn't use enough power with laser), so in the end I decided to paint the boards with black paint, otherwise if this didn't work out I would had to make the pcb's again.

Why not use pid control ?

[@HMProjects]

Direct control it works best for me, but it works as well or even better with PID control, it's just a matter of preference.

[@DucHanh188]

@@HMProjects Haha You are fooling everyone. That's why you don't try to solder on pcb, your circuit won't work properly, tip C245 works at 24VDC you only supply 15V so Direct control seems fine.

[@DucHanh188]

Because it won't work. He deceives everyone. The C245 only works best with pid control, Direct control is terrible.

[@dhiraj787]

@@DucHanh188 it may not work properly as it is homemade project. But it works, easy to build on single side pcb with easily available components. So you should not complain. for professional you have to buy expensive opamp which may not available everywhere, soldering iron with lm358 it will add lot of noise and offset voltage so pid struggles to handle it. C245 tip will work just fine at 15v just heats up slowly, you can't use full power but in day to day use we don't require that much power.

[@HMProjects]

@@DucHanh188 Why I will want to fool someone?, I don't sell this station, I made all the files available if someone wants to make it. Yes it's not perfect and yes I missed out some important points in the video, like soldering something with the this station, calibrating the tip, using PID control, showing the real temperature of the tip and so on, but the video will probably be an hour long, you try to make a video and trying to cover up every aspect wile keeping the video short, and not to mention that you have to finish your project and video for KZbin wile coming home from work at 11 pm, so guys like you to complain about your video, do all that and then come here and tell me how it fills like. Even I don't have to demonstrate you anything, maybe I will make a follow-up video and cover all the missed aspects from this video. Have a nice life!

[@bache2493]

In the connection area of your circuit diagram there is a “JST1 SW” with 2 pins, connected to GND and D10. What is the purpose of this? If it is the connection for the standby cable, why does it have 2 pins? At 13:01 you only connect 1 Wire. I also cannot find the connection for “JST1 SW” and the standby wire on the boards. I would be pleased to receive your answer. 👍👍

Its fake

[@HMProjects]

I updated the files ( see schematic and top board picture ) I marked as SW+, from top board the SW+ wire goes to the handle holder and the handle is ground, when the handle is inserted in to holder D10 is pulled down and the station enters the stand-by mode, first time I had another idea to connect the stand-by wire but later I changed to single wire but I forgot to modify the schematic as well, sorry for that.

i build c210 iron based on v4 12 iron, used 540k resistor for gain if you cant get exact resistor you can combine 2 resistors in series to get that value , for c210 tip there is only 2 pins smaller one is positive P+ and rest 2 pins middle and outer shell is shorted so you have to connect small pin and middle pin, i can not attach picture or can not share links here i would have sent images . no need to change code for v4 ino. then calibrate. i am going to build new c210 better iron than this later.

Please help me to get this done, or did you upload this to get clicks and the circuit is completely broken?

[@HMProjects]

If it worked for me it should definitely work for you as well. But sometimes electronics is hard, isn't it? I don't spend many days coding, making schematic, pcb, testing, designing the case and making the video just to show you somting that doesn't work, I don't think that in this way I will attract many subscribers. Anyways, I will try to help you out, first you have connect the handle wires correctly, red is thermocouple, blue is heater and green is ground, check if the Mini360 voltage is set correctly it should be around 7V and from arduino board you have 5V, check for short circuits and improper solder connections, use another op-amp, it is possible to have a bad op-amp, another thing is that the transistor BC337 should be soldered backwards or use 2N2222 and solder it normally, otherwise the mosfet will run very hot and the temperature of the tip will be uncontrolled and will have bad temperature readings. good luck.

[@user-bw5hk5nb3k]

Hello, thank you for your reply, if I finish this I would be the happiest person so: I don't have any short circuits, as soon as I switch on the station the numbers jump around from 300 degrees slowly down to room temperature even though there is no soldering iron on it, is that normal? My soldering tips have 2.2 ohms, does that still work? I soldered the BC337 the wrong way around like in your video, not like in the circuit diagram but like in your video Vin = 7v 5V = 5V Mosfet doesn't get hot either, but I set it to 30 degrees, it goes up like a cannon with the temperatures and then it glows. My power supply 24V, 2.71 Amp is enough? actually it should because it glowed like a cannon I don't have to change anything about it Leave the program like this and it should work? Please I am really grateful to you 😔

[@fasihzafar7423]

can i use c210 handle with it ?

[@dhiraj787]

NO YOU CANT USE C210 HANDLE WITH IT. c210 USES 12V AND ITS RESISTANCE IS 2.3 Ohm. If you connect c210 it will heat too much become red hot. To use c210 you have to make many changes, you have to change gain of opamp to match c210 thermocouple. use 12v 6Amps power supply and make changes in pid code in arduino

[@dhiraj787]

Change R8 resistor (220K) to 500K and use 12v power supply prefer 5Amps adapter, c210 handle will work. Just recalibrate tip. no change needed in code. for better result replace lm358 with mcp602 opamp.

[@HMProjects]

I'm not sure what is realy going on with yor station but definitely shouldn't behave like that, my help is limited but I will try to help you. First power it up with lower voltage like 19V or less and see how it behaves, use another op-amp if you have ( those fake ones they behave differently from one to another ), play a bit with C13 and try to increase or decrease the value and see how the station it behaves, try to change to PID controll or DIRECT control and see witch one it works best, measure the temperature of the tip externaly and comparet with the temperature displayed by the station and lastly VERY IMPORTANT when you calibrate the station use an external thermometer like a multimeter or a dedicated thermometer for soldeing stations otherwise the calibration it wil not work and not only that the tip may glow red even if the station is showing a lower temperature, the calibration is made in 3 steps at 3 different temperatures and you need to measure the real temperature of the tip externaly at each step and adjust it accordincaly.

[@user-bw5hk5nb3k]

Hi, it starts to glow when calibrating I had to quickly unplug the soldering iron so that it doesn't burn, it behaves like this as soon as I put the soldering iron in the station it heats up by itself and when I type in 30 degrees it exceeds up to 300 degrees, which range is used for temperature measurement and control? Thermocouple Amplifier Maybe I have some error there?

[@dhiraj787]

@@user-bw5hk5nb3k there maybe multiple reasons, most related to your opamp circuit. to check if your opamp is working properly write a small arduino program to display adc values of opamp and upload it to arduino, then heat your c245 tip with other iron and see what values it is showing, values should increase as temp increase. if ii is very random or fluctuating increase c13 value to 50 to 100nf capacitor and try it will stabilize fluctuation. try to change opamp if possible (Most effective) mcp602 or sgm8552 . then check.

[@user-bw5hk5nb3k]

Hello, thanks for your help, I finally got it working, only worked stably with 24v 6amps without crashes and reboots. But now comes my slight problem, despite calibration, whether pid or direct type, the numbers easily jump back and forth back and forth back and forth e.g Set at 150 degrees It dances while 152, 153, 155, 160, 157 back and slowly down always in this area 150-160 dance areas. Would c13 with 50nf or 100nf solve the problem, without c13 a capacitor the station doesn't work at all 😥

[@dhiraj787]

@@user-bw5hk5nb3k i think everything is working fine now , dancing 152, 153, 155, 160, 157 for 150 degrees is normal as there is noise from opamp, it happns mostly while using pid type control.

i think you are using your same old arduino board used for v4 T12 station. that older board saved adc values of T12 in eeprom. Clear eeprom and upload code again. As adc values of T12 tip are high arduino try to match those values and keeps on mosfet so iron get very hot but adc values for c245 are very low so it cannot be reached.

[@HMProjects]

What are you talking about?, În the schematic where is the GX12 connector, TC goes to thermocouple amplifier and the P+ goes to high side switch that controls the heater and P- is the ground ( GND ). Please fallow carefully the schematic, when the handle comes in the package ( NEW ) the wire configuration is different in the connector, you have to reconnect the wires in order to match the connections of the soldering station.
