Hot tweezers is a fun idea we've been talking about. How would you like to see it implemented?

Yes, we really love the cap. It instantly safes the iron when you're done.

We'll post more documentation on the serial interface, it's pretty straightforward. A temperature control program would be no problem.




> Hot tweezers is a fun idea we've been talking about. How would you like to see it implemented?

I suppose probably as a separate USB-C soldering iron. I was initially thinking of them as an attachment to the existing iron that would add an extra grip section, but now that I'm thinking about it a bit more that might be a bit too unwieldy. (And it would be helpful for hot tweezers to also have swappable tips for working with different components.)

Thank you! I wish more companies would be this open about their products' interfaces.
