Doug, Ah, ok, that's an argument. Although adjustment with buttons might be more precise, but it usually makes no big difference to choose 320 or 327 =B0C..= ..

August 2010 16:59 An: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Betreff: Re: [EE] Soldering station Changing the temp is so much faster - generally I'm soldering SMT parts first, then I go to the through-hole parts (connectors usually) for which I want to use a higher temp (higher thermal mass) - the dial is the most efficient method of getting to the temp I want quickly.
