# TS100 & TS80 Firmware
This firmware is a fresh start for these soldering irons. Designed from the ground up as fully featured control software that leaves nothing to be desired.
-It originally started back back at the end of 2016 and has since seen vast improvements, especially some very smart work by community members.

+On the TS100 there are settings to allow you to specify a cutoff voltage for different lithium-ion battery packs to protect your power source.
For the TS80 these are removed and replaced with the selection of 18W or 24W depending on what your QC power bank can support.

# Upgrading your iron
-This is completely safe, if it goes wrong just put the .hex file from the official website onto the unit and your back to the old firmware. Downloads for the hex files to flash are available on the [releases page.](https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/releases) The file you want is called *(MODEL)_EN.hex* unless you want the translations, they are (MODEL)_*language short name*.hex. Where (MODEL) is either TS100 or TS80.

Officially the bootloader on the iron only works under Windows. However, users have reported that it does work under Mac, and can be made to work under Linux *sometimes*. Details over on the [wiki page](https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/wiki/Upgrading-Firmware).

-On the bottom of the MCU riser pcb, there are 4 pads for programming.
-There is a complete device flash backup included in this repository. (Note this includes the bootloader, so will need a SWD programmer to load onto the unit).

For the TS80 the SWD pins are used for the QC negotiation, so you can actually connect to the SWD power via the USB connector
