Simply picking up or moving the iron will wake it back up into soldering mode. You can also press any button and this will also wake the iron up.
Pinecil Only
Optional Hall Effect Feature: Pinecil has a footprint (unpopulated U14) on the PCB for a hall effect sensor (Si7210). Pinecil will sleep the moment it enters the stand and ZZzz appears on the screen. After installing the sensor, a magnet is positioned on the stand close enough to the sensor to activate one of 9 settings.

- 9 = high sensitivity to small magnets ... 1 = low sensitivity.
- Setting of 1 might be used by someone who solders on PCBs with magnets and does not wish Pinecil to auto-sleep constantly. They would also need to use a very strong/large neomydium magnet on the stand to activate the sensor sleep mode.
- Setting of 9 would be useful if you only had a small magnet and are not concerned about Pinecil falsely triggering sleep mode near items like magnetized screwdrivers.
