Pinecil v2 Soldering Iron

Pinecil V2 Smart Portable Soldering Iron

The Pinecil V2 is a compact smart soldering iron from PINE64 designed for portable electronics work, repair projects, and makers who want computer-controlled temperature management in a small form factor. It uses a 32-bit RISC-V processor and runs Ralim's open-source IronOS firmware.

Pinecil V2 supports power through either its USB-C input or DC5525 barrel jack, with only one power input intended to be used at a time. The USB-C input supports USB Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC 3.0), while the DC input supports 12V–24V operation. A monochrome OLED display provides temperature and system information.
