Anyone have a soldering iron recommendation (type/make/model)?
My needs are •small•: occasional minor repair, mostly wire-to-wire soldering, maybe some super-basic PCB stuff in the distant future if I get ambitious. Simple foolproof is better than robust precise.
Whole lot of options out there, and hard to tell which ones are overkill for my needs.
UPDATE: Going with the Pinecil (multiple recommendations, looks right-sized for my needs), and also noting the many Hakko recommendations for more robust needs. Thanks, everyone!

Spent a little while photographing an AKL-PT5 production sample to get some beauty shots for the Digikey page etc when I start making them in volume.
I'll probably downsample... The SEL90M28G macro lens did perhaps too good a job. You can see every little dust speck here lol.

Initial proof of life out of the flash: using normal x1 operation, it appears to be fully functional when driven by the MCU over APB.
So far, I haven't tested actually reading/writing data, but it's doing everything I would expect from a fully functional, correctly soldered flash. Not sure why Vivado doesn't like it.
It's definitely hooked up to the right pins since I'm using the STARTUPE3 hard IP to interface with it.

"But to denounce an army is not to denounce a race. And given serving IDF soldiers revealed in the Israeli press just last week that the IDF is actually ordering its troops to fire into unarmed crowds of Palestinians gathering to collect food from its tightly controlled aid centres — ...— it’s understandable that feelings against this genocidal military are running high."
