Pine Settings and Menus 2.2.16, released by builder555 as the single version to date, is a cross-platform companion application that exposes a browser-based user interface for remotely configuring the Pinecil V2 smart soldering iron over Bluetooth Low Energy. Once the lightweight backend service is started from a computer terminal, operators can open any modern browser on the same machine or on a phone to adjust temperature presets, calibrate tips, monitor live metrics, and apply firmware-level tweaks without touching the tool itself. The software is aimed at electronics hobbyists, repair technicians, and makers who want to streamline bench workflows, perform fine-grained thermal profiling, or simply avoid cycling through the iron’s onboard OLED menu. Because it communicates via standard BLE GATT profiles, no experimental browser flags or additional drivers are required on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS, provided the host computer that launches the backend has a compatible Bluetooth adapter. Unlike purely web-based alternatives, Pine Settings and Menus separates concerns by running a small local server that handles low-level radio operations while presenting an intuitive HTML dashboard, ensuring that security-sensitive BLE commands remain under the user’s control. The tool therefore sits in the Hardware / Diagnostics category, offering a convenient bridge between portable devices and desktop environments for anyone who prefers to tune soldering parameters from a full-sized screen or to switch profiles mid-project without interrupting precision work. Pine Settings and Menus is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
