I took a joke project idea from one of my old videos and turned it into a real project! My soldering iron does not include an auto-shutoff or any safety mechanism... Which has in the past led to the occasional iron left on over night - or month! Not any more! With this project I bring an ATTiny85 (Digispark) together with a relay and create a safety auto-shutoff timer so theres no more danger of burning my house down :) Code for this project can be found here: https://github.com/ItKindaWorks/sketches/blob/master/timerRelay/timerRelay.ino Schematic for this project can be found here: https://github.com/ItKindaWorks/sketches/blob/master/timerRelay/Breadboard_Layout.jpg Support my Patreon (And help keep IKW going!!!): https://www.patreon.com/itkindaworks Subscribe for more weekly videos!
