Please ship the Pinecil Iron with a different default tip , such as TS-D24? The B2 tip is virtually useless. You would sell many more if we didn't need to buy additional tips to be useful. Or even better, how about allowing the buyer to choose a tip? Thanks.
While I have nothing against the B2, I still (11 month after you comment) am disappointed that I would have to buy 2x5pc tip set, just to get the two additional ones I want... Why?
I was a bit worried. I bought my pinecil (not knowing there would be a second version) in early June, and then you mentioned that all pinecil currently sold aren't legitimate, I had a little bit of a panic. I checked your amazon store though and saw that it was no longer selling. So I am confident that it is real.
Will raw boards of the V2 Pinecil be offered? I have the V1 and an extra clear case already, so would rather swap the PCB instead of outright replacing it with a fully assembled one.
I'm excited to see more about the Star64, particularly as I preordered a SiFive HiFive Unmatched in 2020, and Crowd Supply/Mouser botched delivery in 2021. I didn't even receive a refund until recently in 2022. I do have some other RISC-V SBCs, including a StarFive VisionFive, but they do not have PCIe. I am particularly curious whether SiFive's FU740 1.5GHz 28nm quad core 64bit RISC-V CPU will have sufficient bandwidth to drive a 10Gbps ethernet card at line rate for example. I know SiFive worked with TSMC on a 5nm proof of concept last year which was not released to market, and SiFive are apparently working with Intel on a future RISC-V project, but SiFive have been incredibly cagey in a bad way, and that Crowd Supply/Mouser debacle just soured me on them even further.
Sounds great! But I wish there was a Pinecil with shorter tips - for cases when I need precise coordination. I have bought a cheap USB soldering iron and I find it very convenient for sporadic Arduino projects. I have also a normal Velleman soldering iron, but that takes up space on my desk, so I have to put it away. Thus a portable and reliable soldering iron like Pinecil fits my needs well, but it might be less convenient to use when compared to the cheap USB pen from Aliexpress.
Since you own both could you tell me what the advantage if there are any of a "normal" as you call it soldering iron is compared to one in the pencil form factor?
@@armorgeddon Pencil is lighter, with a thinner wire, so it's much more responsive to movements and you feel less resistance from it. The shorter the tip, the easier it is to touch it to the right spot. It's "lever physics" - the farther your fingers are from the tip, the larger movements the tip makes in response to tiny movements or slight shaking of your hand, thus losing accuracy.
Thanks for your work, looking for the OS RISC-V ISA to succeed, and the first RISC-V pinephone and pinetab if it happens. I would love a good and cheap pinewatch - phone, with NFC payments as Samsung already have around 200 € each. And an earbuds model with hooks or detachable ones, in order to fix them to teh ears as the Lenovo LP7 or similar.
I just ordered the pinecil v2 from pine64 so will that come with updated firmware for 28v epr pd3.1 to use with my anker pd 3.1? If not can I pay to ship back both ways to have you update because I don't own a computer due to me having no idea how to use one...lol... I know.... that sounds crazy! Thanks for your help
So I probably have a Pinecil V1 clone (aliexpress). Is there actually any difference between them and how can you check it? It accepts the same firmware so that's why I'm a bit confused.
@@neo256mb Thanks for the answer. One more question. Red silicone cable type c to type c - 65 or 100 watts? Is there a data transfer USB 2.0 или USB 3?
@@neo256mb I understood about the red cable immediately ;). I wonder if pine64 has a 240w silicone epr cable in the plans? I would like an adapter for the soldering iron tips of the JBC for the pinecil v2. ruclips.net/video/chnr0cYhPk0/видео.html
They only develop the hardware not the software they don't make enough profit to afford that unfortunately. And mms works with some effort i would rather prioritize performance and battery life
Pine64 doesn't develop the software. That said I am also disappointed that I cannot get MMS to work. I assume it has something to do with my provider specifically as others have reported it working. My biggest annoyance is that Manjaro Plasma mobile keeps crashing. Anything from navigating too fast to waking with the power button randomly deciding to crash instead.

Would love to see a pine hot air device eventually
i dont know why youtube recommended me this but for the first 40 seconds i thought it was some sort of robotic pencil
This is incredible! I'm super hyped for the Star64.
Same, my dude
Why is the EU store selling the Pinecil for three times the price of the US store? Ok there's about 20% VAT but the rest????

I love the B2 tip. Barely use anything else.
If they had shipped it with anything else and I had to buy another tip I would have got a TS 100 instead.

Not sure why this has been recommended to me but I feel like I need this in my life now
You do the V1 was great.
Woa it’s been a while I’ve been thinking about changing my soldering iron. I won’t look no further.
Sounds great!

Wondering if you could partner with Crinacle for tuning of drivers the pinebuds.
So I probably have a Pinecil V1 clone (aliexpress). Is there actually any difference between them and how can you check it? It accepts the same firmware so that's why I'm a bit confused.
can you link to it? Pinecil out of stock
So when will it be back in stock? No way to contact Pinecil on their website.
Hello. Iron tips 6.2 Ohms can be calibrated in v1? Will there be a kit to upgrade the soldering iron v1 to version v2?
@@neo256mb Thanks for the answer. One more question. Red silicone cable type c to type c - 65 or 100 watts? Is there a data transfer USB 2.0 или USB 3?
@@neo256mb Thanks for the answer. If there was 3.0, it would become a universal cable for me.

Maybe you guys and Framework can work together too!
Will the Star64 be available at the EU shop?
Unlikely. At least not anytime soon.
Does the pinecil accept c115 JBC tips? I think I've heard that somewhere.
>"counterfeiting of the pincel v1"
your product is literally a clone of another product, that's rich.
More of everything you do please
try adding "core functionality" to your previous products. better mms support on pinephone for one.

@@ky5666 MMS sucks anyway, always did. Most German providers have already shut down MMS earlier this year.
i think focusing on the pinetab will change the world the most for true mobile computing.
loving the pinephone in manjaro phosh!
Hmmmm screw pen and soldier in one would be cool
what does a solder iron has to do with silicon chips
remove all extra complexity, thanks
you are selling for selling sake, are you
a temperature switch is not hard to make, risc v for what
or a manual switch for the temperature switch
do you want risc-v in your toilet paper
