Weller WE 1010NA Backlight Mod (Open Source)
Posted by: Stephen on 2021-09-28 17:09:22
I have no clue if this is helpful to anyone here, but I made a backlight mod for the Weller WE 1010NA.

I have a few boards for sale ($10 + shipping) but the project itself is open source and designed so you can order them pre-assembled from JLCPCB. The goal of the project was primarily to show if the meter is still on when "closing up" my shop for the night but also to improve readability in low-light.

The license also permits commercial use (CC BY-SA 4.0): https://github.com/Stephen-Arsenault/WE1010NA-Backlight
