Cheap DIY solution to make a heater for hot-plate soldering.

1. Plug the device to a common 12V DC power source that is able to provide 5 ampere. 2. Place the object to be soldered on the heater plate. 3. Switch on the heater with the red power button. 4. Select a target temperature (the "Set" value on the display) with the potentiometer. 5. When the solder is molten enough, turn off the heater with the red button. Note that there is no support to automatically follow a temperature profile.
