Hi Please feel free to shoot this down if i am overlooking something basic.. Yes i am too lazy to do the homework - its easier to ask..
As i was pottering about today i came across a few bits n bobs and thought Hmmm i could make a mod from these.. i have a TP120 n-channel mosfet a number of dev boards capable of outputting a pwm signal esp9266/arduino/stm32 etc... an esp8266-12 is probably the smallest with suitable exposed i/o a tp4056 usb lipo charge board .. and numeros microswitches.. a few small spi/i2c oled displays and a 3d printer with a spool of pla..
Now pla isnt the most heat capable fdm material but an offcut of copper tube flapened in the vice could? perhaps provide a suitable heatsink ??
I might be able to salvage a 510 connector from an old dodgy tube mod clone? Or perhaps hack a 510 heatsink extension.. (not sure im calling that beast the right name its a heatsink to screw in under your atty on a mod with fins to cool the atty?? )
The half baked plan is to hook the battery upto the 510 via the tp120 and use the dev board to take input from 3 x micro switches up/down/on-fire, and perhaps a oled for current setting ( 0-255 or rough Wattage value based on a static battery charge - real time wattage based on actual battery voltage might be a bit too much atm..)
would i be wasting time and effort or is a worthwhile working device achievable??
tia..
