I highly recommend reading the installation guide fully when installing on your iron. And after install just explore the settings menu.
For soldering irons that are designed to be powered by "smart" power sources (QC and PD), the firmware supports settings around the negotiated power and voltage.
-For soldering irons that are designed to be powered by batteries (TS100), settings for a cutoff voltage for battery protection are supported.
+For soldering irons that are designed to be powered by batteries (TS100 & Pinecil), settings for a cutoff voltage for battery protection are supported.
-There are 25 languages currently supported as of present. When downloading the firmware for your soldering iron take note of the language code in the file name.

This project is considered feature complete for use as a soldering iron, _so please suggest any feature improvements you would like!_
_This firmware does **NOT** support the USB port while running for changing settings. This is done through the onscreen menu only. Logos are edited using the tool or python script and uploaded in DFU mode._
To get started with this firmware, please jump over to [here](Documentation/GettingStarted.md).

-- Pressing the button near the tip enters the soldering mode
