Homemade Soldering Station 2 (AVR)

Hello again,in this section we will make a professional soldering station

Original idea was from here

Homemade_Soldering_Station_2_AVR_18

the circuit is based on atmega8 from Atmel

The main idea is to observe the temperature of the soldering iron through a k type thermocouple and in proportion ,control the supply to the soldering iron.It is based on the p.i.d controller for a better and more accurate results.The circuit is power from 9-15 volts. Thermocouple is connected to MAX 6675. All compontes are very easy to find.

On each Cycle:

Error = SetPoint – Tip

Total_Error = Total_Error + Error

P = Kp * Error Or P = Kp * Error * Tip

I = Ki * Total_Error

D = Kd * ( Error – Previous_Error )

PID_out = P + I + D

PID_out is limited in range of -500 to +500

PID_out = PID_out + 500

And now we power the soldering Iron for PID_out milliseconds

Previous_Error = Error

and after that all the other components

here is the small pcb with the optocoupler and the triac

Lets continue with the soldering iron. It is a cheap soldering from ebay for around 5 bucks.I tried to place the thermocouple as closer as i could to the tip ,so that the measured temperature to be as accurate as it could be.
