I learned to solder while building a keyboard and flashing IOT devices earlier this year, and can't recommend Pine64's Pinecil Soldering Iron highly enough (just be sure to pick up a capable power-source while you're there).
> The Pinecil is a smart mini portable soldering iron with a 32-bit RISC-V SoC featuring a sleek design, auto standby and it heats up to an operating temperature in just 12 seconds when paired with a sufficiently powerful power supply unit.
