Adhesive dispensing system

A method for controlling one or more illuminate devices in an adhesive dispensing system, the method comprising:

• electrically coupling an adhesive dispensing device and a charger base, the charger base including an interface formed for receiving the adhesive dispensing device;
• determining an electrical connection between an external power output interface of the charger base and a power supply interface of the adhesive dispensing device;
• in response to determining the electrical connection between the external power output interface and the power supply interface, illuminating at least one of a first light emitting device coupled to the adhesive dispensing device and a second light emitting device coupled to the charger base;
• and
• controlling, via a control circuit of the adhesive dispensing device, a flow of power from a power source of the adhesive dispensing device to a heating element coupled to a nozzle of the adhesive dispensing device in response to the adhesive dispensing device being uncoupled from the charger base, wherein the power source is a first rechargeable battery that provides power to the heating element,
• wherein the adhesive dispensing device includes a temperature sensor in thermal communication with the heating element, wherein the temperature sensor is coupled to the control circuit of the adhesive dispensing device, the temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the nozzle,
• wherein the external power output interface is coupled to a power supply circuit configured to provide power to the external power output interface,
• wherein the adhesive dispensing device includes a handle oriented along a first axis and a barrel portion oriented along a second axis, the handle configured to mate with the interface, the barrel portion including an aperture at a first end for receiving an adhesive,
• wherein the nozzle is located at a second end of the barrel portion opposite the aperture.
