I was about to...
But I'll keep myself civilized for a little more.
Boost mode is something made for ocassional use, not to be used every minute.
For example, when you're soldering small parts and suddently you have to solder a big part, you trigger boost and you get ex. 1 minute running at +50ºC to solder that specific part, then it'll return back to normal temperature.
You can configure the boost increase and time to whatever you want. (
Read the operation manual)
If you want it crazy hot, just set +300ºC boost, it willll always apply the max temp limit set in the options, to prevent burning things.
It's not normal to use 5+ minute boost, if you use it for so long, then learn to properly adjust the temperature to the working requirement.
Simply rotate the encoder to quickly adjust the required temperature.
Are you conscious that the encoder is already used in every possible way?
- Switching temperature view (Numeric / graph).
- Adjusting the temperature.
- Entering low power modes.
- Changing tip profiles.
- Entering the settings menu.
People think developers do things magically, however don't use the term "just" or "simply" here, changing only one action will require to change all others, that's not quick neither easy as changing 2 lines of code.
I've worked very hard to get it working in armony, so nothing crashes or breaks another function, tweaking the timings, etc...
So sorry, I won't do that, get used to it.
Original firmware handling is simply terrible, you have to move between options in the screen, click a dozen times for doing simple things... in this firmware, most of them can be done with a simple gesture.
Let me remember you that the source code is available for everyone for modifying.
Or you can mail KSGER asking them to make a firmware that's not crap.
