Voltages below 12V don't overly work well for any substantial mass. ## Why new software for a soldering iron -The original software for the iron worked really well, except that if you wanted to change most of the settings you had to connect it to a computer via USB and edit a text document. +The original software for the iron worked really well, except that if you wanted to change most of the settings you had to connect it to a computer via USB and edit a text document.(This has been changed in the new 2.17 firmware) -This software aims to work as a complete re-write of the software for the iron, using the code from minidso as a reference.
