couple of years ago i was looking to build a new soldering station that heats up quickly
after a lot of search on the internet i found a design that had all the features i wanted and it was relatively easy to build.
this design is not mine but the designer was kind enough and answered all my questions and suggestions i had about this project and gave me permission to make a video showing my build.

Description
1. Overview
T12 Quick Heating Soldering Station featuring- Temperature measurement of the tip
- Temperature control via rotary encoder
- Boost mode by short pressing rotary encoder switch
- Setup menu by long pressing rotary encoder switch
- Handle movement detection (by checking ball switch)
- Iron unconnected detection (by idenfying invalid temperature readings)
- Time driven sleep/power off mode if iron is unused (movement detection)
- Measurement of input voltage, Vcc and ATmega's internal temperature
- Information display on OLED
- Buzzer
- Calibrating and managing different soldering tips
- Storing user settings into the EEPROM
