This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3,745 for Friday 9th of December 2022. Today's show is entitled, Pinesle Walkthrough. It is hosted by Archer 72 and is about 9 minutes long. It carries a clean flag. The summary is, details of the Pinesle soldering iron menu with a secret menu. Well, this is Archer 72, welcome to Hacker Public Radio. I'd like to encourage anybody listening to try their hand at podcasting if they haven't contributed ready. It doesn't have to always be technical, it could be how do you make coffee or how you roast beans for coffee or how to make the best eggs in the world. It doesn't have to be a very long episode. Mine was only a minute, or it could be about 50 minutes long, like BNRC's, but then again he has a lot more information to convey. Whatever it is, we'd like to hear from you. In this episode, I go over the menus in the Pinesle, which is already at its second generation. Pinesle is a risk-feed powered, open and versatile side-ring iron. It can be powered via USB, C, PD, as well as a DC 5525 jack, and runs community developed software. Moreover, it is compatible with popular TS-100 tips, all of us in half the price of the competitor competition. The version is shown by having a long press on the minus button. The version in this one is V2.18.A1A569A, dated the 17th of July 2022. The menus divided into power settings, soldering settings, sleep mode, user interface, and advanced settings. Under power settings, you can set the power source. It's defaulted at 10 DC 10 volts. You can set this for each cell. Next is the QC voltage. I have it set at 20 volts, which is a quick charge voltage. This is stated as max QC voltage, the iron should negotiate for. The range is 9 to 22 volts. Next is PD timeout, defaulting at 20, and it's listed as the PD negotiation timeout in 100 milliseconds steps for compatibility with some QC chargers. The range is 1 to 50 seconds or off. Next, hitting is the soldering settings. Default boost temperature is 400 degrees Celsius, 410 degrees Celsius. Default temperature is 10 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit Celsius in increments of 10. Next setting start up behavior, default is 0, 0 is off, S is heat up to soldering temp, Z is standby at sleep temperature until moved, R is standby without heating until moved. Next setting, temperature change short, default is 1, listed as temperature change increment on short button press, the range is 1 to 50. Next setting, temperature change long, default is 10, temperature change increment on short button press, range 5 to 90 in increments of 5, next setting, allow locking buttons, default is D for disable, V is for boost mode and F is for full locking. option is while soldering hold down both buttons to toggle locking them. Next setting is sleep mode, subheading is motion sensitivity, default of 7, 0 equals off, 1 equals least sensitive, and 9 equals most sensitive. Next setting is sleep temp, default at 110 degrees, and temp temperature while in equal sleep mode, range is 10 to 300, next setting, sleep time out, default of 50 seconds, Z interval before equal sleep mode kicks in, S equals seconds, M equals minutes, range is 10 seconds to 50 seconds, or 1 minute to 10 minutes, or off, next setting, shut down, time out, 10 minutes, Z default, it's interval before the iron shuts down, M equals minutes, range, 1 minute to 60 minutes, or off, under the user interface heading, the first setting is temperature unit, which defaults to Celsius, and you can also set it to Fahrenheit, under the display orientation, it's default to right-handed, it also has the option of left-handed or automatic, and next setting is cooldown flashing, it's a checkbox, flash the temperature reading after heating was halted when the tip is still hot, next setting, scrolling speed, is default S for slow, and it's listed as speed info text rolls past, at S equals slow and F equals fast, next heading is swap the plus and minus key, which is a checkbox, and this reverses assignment of buttons for temperature adjustment, next setting is animation speed, default medium, and it's the pace of the icon animations in the menu, zero is off, S is slow, M is medium, F is fast, next setting is animation loop, and that's a checkbox, and it's loop icon animations in the menu, next item in the menus is, it's a brightness icon, and defaults to 4, and adjust the brightness of the OLED screen, next setting is an invert icon, it's a checkbox, you invert the colors of the OLED screen, next setting is boot logo duration, default to one second, sets the duration of the boot logo S equals seconds, range is 1 to 4 seconds, or infinite, or off, the next setting is detailed the idle screen, which is a checkbox, and this sets it to display detailed information in a smaller fine font on the idle screen, and the last setting is detailed side of screen, checkbox, display detailed information in a smaller font on the side of screen, the last heading is advanced settings, the first setting is power limit, and I have it set to 35 watts, default is off, this sets the maximum power the iron can use with W e-cling watts, the range is off, or 0 to 95 watts, and increments of 5, next setting is reset factory settings, and it resets all settings to default, the next setting is calibrate temperature, and allows you to start tip temperature offset calibration, next setting is calibrate input voltage, and it starts voltage input calibration, long press to exit, next setting is power pulse, default to 0.5, set the intensity of power of keep awake pulse, in watts, the range is 0.1 to 9.9, or off, the next setting is power pulse delay, default to 4, and it is the delay before keep awake pulse is triggered, times 2.5 seconds, and the range is 1 to 9, the final setting is power pulse duration, default of 1, and it is the keep awake pulse duration, times 250 milliseconds, and the range is 1 to 9, that's all I have, feel free to leave a comment, or record a show of your own, thank you for listening, bye bye, you have been listening to Hecker Public Radio at Hecker Public Radio.org, today's show was released on our creative comments, attribution, 4.0 international license.
