Not a Bug (don't think) more a question for the TS100 :) #777

Closed Doyle4 closed 3 years ago

Doyle4 commented 3 years ago

Bought a tip from Amazon, reviews where good. But its the only tip that cant hold its temp, it fluctuates +5c, so 310 = 310c to 315c constant.

PID tuned, set DC for my 24V PSU

Not looking for a fix, just some tips on how to maybe control it a bit better or if this is a common issue with 3rd party tips? All new to me the TS100.

Do not bump the thread.

Read all documentation first and try calibrating it and see if it fixes issue. https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS/blob/master/Documentation/

Done all them which is why im little lost with what do, I have also limited wattage with no change.

Ralim commented 3 years ago

At 24V you may see fluctuations like that depending on how well the tips internal construction is.

This is not a cause for alarm, and doesn't affect soldering.

As this firmware takes the approach of never lying to users (unlike irons that filter this out), it does mean that you see everything as it occurs.
