Hakko FG-100
linux-works:
did yours come with a pack of the sensor wires?
I'm not going to worry about $5, mate (LOL!)

I bought one the other week. There was a thread here where someone had screwed up the temperature settings on their FX888D and their iron tip was discoloring. I was having the same problem so bought one of these and calibrated my iron. It was more than 100F out! The FG-100 was Celsius onl, so I had to switch the iron into Celsius mode to calibrate it. I can't comment on its accuracy, but my iron is a lot better now.

On the pictures posted, the pinout on the COB exactly matches the ICL7116, a variant of that infamous multimeter ADC. So it should be pretty hackable if you want to switch temperature ranges/recalibrate it/etc. You'd just need to reverse-engineer the analog front-end, which doesn't look too difficult; there's a HEF4013B dual D flip-flop and an LM385-1.2 voltage reference.

I'm assuming the 2 blue pots are for cal, also. I'll find out when I get it.
it might be worth playing with. didn't know it was a chip with a spec sheet I could even get ;)

Hi, I have the FG-100 in my lab, not sure if it is a fake or original hakko, bought it from a private person at ebay here in Germany. It was new and never used it showed F, so I thought don't turn it on turn it apart :D and I found a little switch inside witch labeled F C. After flipping the switch to C it shows the correct temperature in C. There must be some different versions out there. If somebody has a original FG-100 it would be interesting if there is a switch an the pcb.
