It's really weird to scroll past all these fantastical hardware achievements/products, and still end up a little bit disappointed since there was no update about their soldering iron (the "Pinecil").
Really looking forward to that one, it seems like a good contender to the TS80/TS100 irons but more open and so on.
It should be due for release around end of September, so ... fingers crossed. :)
- mmebane 6y agoI was disappointed, too, but they added an update in a comment[1]: > Right, the Pinecil is coming along; Ben Brown who’s porting his firmware to the RISC-V chip ran into some problems with the prototype we sent him (our fault), so a new unit is on its way to him now. Once he confirms that everything is working as intended we’ll file a production request with the factory. I too am waiting for it with anticipation and hope that it won’t be much longer before we get it in the store.
