Continuing with the theme of OSHW bench equipment, Serbian hacker Bogdan Kecman built his own open source soldering iron driver that works with any iron with an RTD or thermocouple sensor. Bogdan has KiCad files for his board on the above site, which is in Serbian. [via Dangerous Prototypes]
Final gen3 device is only Proteus and Eagle. No KiCAD files attm. KiCAD files were available only for some intermediate schematics (never for PCB).
The update of the project is available on my original blog: http://elco.crsndoo.com/wordpress/2012/01/soldering-iron-driver-gen3-rev1-4/
