Introdução

Follow this guide to adjust the settings on your FixHub Smart Soldering Iron using a computer. All changes made will be saved to the iron's onboard storage.

    • To use the FixHub Web Console, you need a browser with Web Serial enabled. We recommend Brave, Chrome, Edge, or Opera as they include this functionality enabled by default.

    • Firefox and Safari don't support Web Serial at this time.

    • Plug the cable included with your iron or any USB cable that supports data transfer into your computer.

    • Navigate to iFixit.com/FixHub/console

    If using Linux, you will need to give yourself serial port permissions (as they are not granted by default).

    To do so, enter the following in your console (where <username> is your Linux username):

    sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>

    You can verify that the permission was granted successfully with:

    groups <username>

    After that, reboot your PC.

    Credit to George Symeou on the iFixit forums for figuring this out, I just wanted to post it here for anyone who hit the same problem on Linux.

    • Once the FixHub Web Console opens, you'll see temperature settings, current status, and other information:

    • Current temperature shows the tip temperature in real time.

    • Set temperature allows you to change the iron's temperature with a slider.

    • Status reflects the current status of the iron.

    • Settings allows you to change iron settings such as idle temperature and sleep timer.

    • Serial number shows the serial number of the connected iron.

    • Version shows the firmware version of the connected iron.

    • Before using the FixHub Web Console, ensure your firmware is up to date.

    • Select the Version box.

    • Click Update now and wait for the firmware update to complete. Don't disconnect your iron or close the window during the firmware update.

    • If something goes wrong, you can downgrade your firmware by repeating these steps and clicking Downgrade to an older firmware.

    • A lower idle temperature will extend tip life, while a higher one will resume working temperature more quickly.

    • Drag the Idle temperature slider to your desired temperature from 50 to 200 °C (125 to 390 °F).

    • The idle timer can be disabled, but it's highly recommended to leave it enabled to prevent the iron cap from overheating and to extend tip life.

    • The idle timer setting adjusts how long the iron must be stationary before entering Idle Mode.

    • Drag the Idle timer slider to your desired time from 1s to 60s.

    • The sleep timer can be disabled, but doing so will cause the iron cap to overheat and the tip to degrade rapidly.

    • Drag the Sleep timer slider to your desired time from 1s to 60s.
