I see. thanks.
I don't think it's for beginners simply because it costs more than all the tools I ever owned in my life put together. and I have a bunch of autistic bike ones.
I don't doubt it's worth it for some people but I can't justify it for myself, it would be sitting on a shelf most of the time.
and all the smart features I don't need won't make much of a difference to me.
that t75 costs 5 bucks, has all that microcontroller stuff to control the tip heat, turns heat off when it's not needed on when needed, sets temperature. I'm not sure what else I could possibly need, personally. though it's cool to have fancy toys with settings and screens, but its probably overkill.
actually, what I would like is selecting the PD Trigger settings and things like that, cause the powerbanks I have are all a bit different than what these cheaper ones are expected to run from. I saw one c210 iron (picrel) where you can set it manually even and that really piqued my interest, but it's still like 20 euros and I want to wait for the cheap one I ordered at least https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGKvH3Y
trying to figure out different tips also a bit of a pain, both the shapes and types.
one thing I don't know about is precise temperature control and I heard about something like "calibrating the tips" because of different resistance or impedance or something. cause you apparently can burn some tips in some irons cause you overhear them? this is also alien to me cause the tips I used in my old iron were a solid bar of some metal that looks more like a rod for welding plugged into mains. it would take minutes to heat up and like 15 to cool down. so really anything is faster than that. I never worked with tiny heat sensitive components for that to matter. maybe phone repair would need it?
