Do you have plans to have an actual local application to do this? Chrome-only web tools are not sustainable and a deal breaker.

As noted in the article, there's also a traditional serial interface.

In that case, an Arduino + touch screen would be a nice little addon for this.

This is something I'm wondering about, because yeah - my ability to change the iron temperature (if not using the battery) shouldn't depend on iFixit's servers being online. I would at least hope that they document the protocol so that other people can write local applications to do it if not.

I mean it uses an experimental web standard, WebSerial. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Serial_...

Chrome just happens to be the only browser that supports it right now. It's not like it's using proprietary protocols that will never exist outside of Chrome.
