    Since the Pinecil is running IronOS

    What a sentence. I really don’t like the idea of having to do a firmware update on my soldering iron.

    Does it have Bluetooth and a companion app as well?

      Firmware was always there in a soldering iron more sophisticated than an old, dumb Radio Shack wall plug iron. That’s how you get good temperature control. Pinecil is just letting you modify it officially.

        Oh, I was dead serious. You can get battery drills that come with a fucking app now, I’m not surprised at all it’s the same with solder irons.

        Power and temp up and down is just too simple, I guess.
