Individual tip calibrations about axxsolder HOT 2 OPEN

Good input.
How would you name each of the tips? with their JBC number?

Or would it make sense to have one "default" configuration and then the user can add "custom conf 1", "custom conf 2" and so on.

And then maybe you can select the default start-up configuration in a settings menue?

Given the number of variations in JBC tip numbers, putting in a pre-populated list might be troublesome, in addition to the number not being immediately descriptive, but I don't know how much memory space that would take up, if you put in all the possible tip model numbers. The other thing is the clone tips often use a different numbering scheme that they came up with. Unfortunately I've only see pictures on the STM32 T12/C245 stations, and I think that they are pre-populated tip numbers for the T12 at least, not sure if they have all of them, or just the popular ones. Maybe having a limited character field, like 8-10 characters, where you can specify the name, using the encoder to scroll letter/numbers.

The custom firmware made by DavidAlfa, I think does have a base/default tip profile, then you can base other tips off that profile to start, but each tip has it's own parameters that can be modified, that can be done through just temperature calibration points.

Not sure how many entries you would need. Maybe look at his code to see what he's doing? I'm not real code literate, I can probably see some of the basics, but not the whole picture.
