Fingerprint Sensor AS608 - A Beginner's Guide
One touch can replace keys. This project uses an optical fingerprint sensor to enroll users and then grant access with a quick scan.
read tutorial →The Miniware TS80P is the pen-style smart soldering iron for makers who solder anywhere: bench, field repairs, workshops, competitions. Powered over USB-C from a PD or QC3.0 adapter or power bank, it reaches working temperature in seconds and fits in a pencil case.
An OLED display shows live temperature, and the grip stays cool while the tip does the work. Good for headers, wires, connectors, through-hole boards, and everyday electronics repair.
| Model | Miniware TS80P |
| Power | Up to 30W via USB-C PD (QC3.0 supported) |
| Input | USB Type-C, PD2.0 / QC3.0 adapter or power bank |
| Heat-up | ~8 seconds to 300°C |
| Temperature range | 100°C to 400°C |
| Display | OLED, live temperature readout |
| Form factor | Pen-style, aluminum body |
| SKU | TS80P |
Power note: this iron needs a USB-C PD or QC3.0 source. A plain computer USB port won't drive it. Any decent PD power bank works, which is what makes it a true portable iron.
Round out the bench: 63/37 solder wire, rosin flux paste, and tweezers. Prefer a plug-in station instead? See the 60W adjustable-temperature iron for bench-only work.
