Mini TS100 soldering iron and current leakage

Awesome, thanks!
I love your WS801 chassis, BTW. Should be able to make a nice bit of kit with it. I was considering buying an old Hakko on eBay to use for something similar. But it will be so much easier to hack an 888, if I manage to get it right. I plan to use the existing 888 interface and display for setting the temp, and my micro will just figure out where the 888 is set at by spoofing the 888's ADC and figuring out where it it trying to turn on the heater. Of course with a flip of a switch, it will be a regular 888.

not WS, DS - it still has a big pump in it! 8)

i wouldnt,
scrap the electronics and start fresh.
the 888d's weak point is the interface.
and maybe use something like this!!

^true, the 888 interface is lamo. A better interface is phase 2, cuz that is a boring job.
What the 888 has going for it is a 26V torque beast hemi engine stuffed into the smallest box possible, comes with a really nice handpiece in itself, and Fry's likes to give them away for pennies every 4 months. I picked up a couple at the last sale, and first order of business is to unleash the beast.

hi. can anybody please tell what resistance must be from rings (contacts) of a tip to its body? i got two tips for ts-100 today and one shows megaohms and other gust 100 ohms so i wonder if one of them faulty and maybe i shouldn't use it.
