In this article we will figure out if it is possible to use a portable car jump starter as the welding current supply for the spot welder.
Due to customer requests and some people having problems making adapter cables to use the Spot Welder with a Lipo battery, you can now get a XT90 adapter cable.
The Version 3.2.1 Update introduces a weld pulse measurement feature.
There is a new Version of the Spot Welder available. Read more to find out what has changed in V3.2
During the last weeks we worked on a big software update for the Arduino Spot Welder which will add many new functions and also make the code more efficient. Read more to find out the details and how to upgrade your Spot Welder with the new software.
This Tutorial will show you how to upload the latest Spot Welder Software to your Arduino Nano and also how to update the Bootloader of the Arduino Nano.
There is a new Version 3.1 of the Spot Welder available. It has a little improvement on the mosfet board that makes it possible to use higher CCA car batteries -> more welding current. Read more to find out the details.
The case for the Arduino Spot Welder got a design update so it is now more modular to use.
The SMD TVS Diode used on the Spot Welder V3 seems to have problems when using very big car batteries (e.g. 800 CCA). So it is recommended to replace it with a stronger one. Read more to find out the details.
To upload the Arduino Code of the Spot Welder V3 to the Arduino Nano you need to do some preparation. Read more to find out what to do.
