    Soldering irons and what tip you use is whatever works best for you and gets the job done

    Does the unit turn off at night and has to be rebooted manually for each use?

    You generally find the banana fingered, club handed types don't like the conical soldering iron tips.
    But I agree they are perfect for small stuff. Great video Thankyou.

    Julian Ilett, Have you considered using butyl rubber to seal the ends rather than silicone? Butyl rubber never get hard like silicone can.

    really Interesting

    How does one get hold of these? I've got a hankering to build some solar fairy lights with a SLA battery that will last a bit longer than an NiMH cell. Are they on tindie?

    If I ever have a Go at these I would have to slow down the Flash rate on the Voltage readings a bit.

    Did you ever give one of those boards away ?

    Resin maybe an option for waterproofing. It takes work though.

    I consider you a friend from afar
