I know nothing about these things, what is the point to use a "smart" soldering iron instead of a normal dumb one ?

- Graziano_M 3y agoWell the most obvious is that you need some sort of smarts to drive the display. But also you can do a bunch of nice things (aided by a accelerometer): 1. Have custom temp profiles 2. Smarter auto on-off (e.g. cool down when placed down, heat up when picked up) 3. Flip the screen for lefties (I like this feature) And anything else you can dream of.
- stavros 3y agoThere isn't much of a point. This just happens to be the best sub-$100 soldering iron you can get, and it costs $20.
