@seveibar This looks horrible ! And probably non functional too; routing the power traces under the IC, using small vias to route power when a simple 90degrees rotation would have allowed to stay on the same layer. Happy to see humans engineers still have a few more years ahead of them.

The @crowd_supply funding campaign for the Solder Ninja Pen ends in just a few hours. I'm profoundly grateful for all the support it's received. If you're looking to upgrade your toolkit, now's your chance to grab one! 😀 https://t.co/HQAo1c8jkj

@ChristianHJW @HancocksHalf @helenleigh Correct.

@mikelectricstuf An optometry device, more specifically a tonometer to detect applanation of the eye surface.

@joelreymont @helenleigh Hey @joelreymont. It's different in many ways. Most notably, it's designed to use the incredibly sturdy and very ergonomic Weller RT Micro tips. For a more detailed comparison, check out https://t.co/xkuPzXhuQ0. Let me know if you have other questions :)!

@_one334 @helenleigh Hey @_one334. That's a valid question! The Solder Ninja Pen is different in many ways. It's most notably designed to use the very sturdy Weller RT tips. Check out the comparison table https://t.co/xkuPzXi2Fy for more details. Here's a photo of the internals for the curious minds.

@liminalsunset_ @helenleigh The output stage of the Solder Ninja Pen has short circuit protection built-in, so no worries there :)

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

@OnyxCrack @helenleigh Agreed, after all it's the tip that does all the work. I have had incredibly good experiences with Weller RT tips. They are super sturdy, and after years of daily use they still work as well as day one.

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

@ChristianHJW @HancocksHalf @helenleigh Hey @ChristianHJW. Yes, the Solder Ninja Pen will accept low power supplies down to 7.5W. At that wattage it takes around 30s to reach 350°C (660°F). Obviously, the more watts the better, but I didn't see any reason to limit its functionality.

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

@ArbitraryOstric @helenleigh For added compactness, I'm sure you could probably use a USB Type-C to 2.5mm DC barrel with a USB PD trigger chip embedded. Something like that https://t.co/niN1Gw66Yt Sorry, typo, what I meant to say is buy my product :)

@mediocreDevops @helenleigh @layogtima Thanks @mediocreDevops, I appreciate the positive feedback! I'm excited to start production and eager get it in the hands of backers as soon as possible.

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

@HancocksHalf @helenleigh Hey @HancocksHalf. It takes only 5s to reach 350°C (660°F) when powered from a USB Power Delivery power supply of 45W.

[Helen Leigh ⚡ @helenleigh]

I've been waiting to get my hands on this USB-C soldering iron for two years. Delicious machined aluminum body with excellent balance, compatible with Weller tips, can take 7.5 - 45W. Amazing work @nschurando

I'm streaming LIVE from @hackaday Superconference at noon Pacific today. Join me for a tour of the space, a peek at the schedule and some nerdy conversations with @aleksorsist (Thunderscope), @arabidsquid (Jumperless), @securelyfitz (Tigard) and @nschurando (Solder Ninja Pen).

@patrick_riscv @sad_electronics @atc1441 @propopi Hi Patrick, I would argue the contrary. I have made a dev board for the ch543, and I cannot get a program to compile. Basic software support is lacking. I'd love to see platformio support for it.

@M6pro @g_kozo_charles @Jon_Curiel @xdemoulins @vregnier7 @benjamin_boiron @jeremym6 @66Minutes @m6publicite Et pourtant, tellement d'erreurs journalistiques. https://t.co/HGtq7CH2X5

[Altis ▷ @AlTi5]

Et donc dans le plus grand calme @m6 floute mon logo et oublie d'indiquer la source des images : "Altis Play" comme discuté avec @antoine_rt_.

J'espère avoir gain de cause avec une modification ou suppression des images, une procédure est en cours.

@66Minutes @M6 @xdemoulins Quel travail de merde. Vous devriez avoir honte @M6Groupe d'une pareille désinformation. Elle est où, votre éthique, votre déontologie journalistique ?

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

Bonjour @LuanaPaulineau, votre article https://t.co/MEphIu3vCw dans @Santeplusmag contient un nombre remarquable d'erreurs. Je serai ravi d'échanger pour les rectifier. Par ailleurs, peut-être qu'un article informatique n'a pas sa place dans un magazine de santé ?

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

@AskAtlassian Thanks for getting back. I'm not even asking for custom color palettes. Just the ability to use actual red; instead of the orange you call red.

[Nicolas Schurando @nschurando]

@Confluence not even naming colors right; or unilaterally deciding that people should not use actual red in documents?
