Any plans to make a hot tweezer tip for this? It's hard to come by those for a reasonable price and that would be very appealing since I've often found myself needing to desolder surface-mount components. I was initially skeptical about the cap vs. a traditional stand until I saw that it mounts to the side of the battery pack to double as a stand. I like that idea! Also, is there documentation on the serial protocol used in case someone wanted to write a temperature control program that didn't rely on a webapp?

Hot tweezers is a fun idea we've been talking about. How would you like to see it implemented? Yes, we really love the cap. It instantly safes the iron when you're done. We'll post more documentation on the serial interface, it's pretty straightforward. A temperature control program would be no problem.

  > Hot tweezers is a fun idea we've been talking about. How would you like to see it implemented? I suppose probably as a separate USB-C soldering iron. I was initially thinking of them as an attachment to the existing iron that would add an extra grip section, but now that I'm thinking about it a bit more that might be a bit too unwieldy. (And it would be helpful for hot tweezers to also have swappable tips for working with different components.) > We'll post more documentation on the serial interface, it's pretty straightforward.
