IronOS firmware

You can find the latest IronOS firmware here
Make sure to select the correct model and language version.

Why new software for a soldering iron

The original software for the iron worked really well, except that if you wanted to change most of the settings you had to connect it to a computer via USB and edit a text document. (This has been changed in the new 2.17 firmware)

Most of the code for the system has been completely re-written for this implementation, attempting to move to hardware peripherals for all the IO rather than software driven events (as the minidso firmware does).

The firmware is considered stable, and should be great for everyday use (Lots of users already!).

Always more than open to ideas and pull requests to add features / improve things.

Differences at a glance

Feature TS100 TS80 TS80p Pinecil
LiPo
QC 3.0
PD

Please note: All four of these soldering irons do NOT contain DC/DC converters. This means that your power at the tip is a function of the supplied voltage. Just because an iron "supports" running at a wide range of voltages, you should always use a voltage near the upper limit where possible. It is highly recommended to use a PD adapter where possible as this allows the Iron to know the limitations of your supply.

These Irons can only turn the tip on and off in software, this means that they can't control the maximum power drawn from the supply. This is why when using PD the iron may select a lower voltage than your power supplies maximum. This is to prevent your power supply failing from over current.
