Clarify and add details to documents (#1383)
* Update README.md * Update Menu.md Thoughts: - changing the name in display to "Calibrate Tip Offset" (currently shows Calibrate temperature) might be more clear, and then people will not get nervous and think the number displayed means temperature? since it is just a number, i.e., 765, and does not say "765 offset" I suggest changing to either "number Offset" or changing menu name to "Calibrate Tip Offset" . when people incorrectly beleive the high number is temperature, since it says "calibrate temperature?" then it leads to unwarranted concern that the pinecil or IronOS is broken. * Update Menu.md * Update Temperature.md clarify language, add punctuation. * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update Flashing.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update GettingStarted.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update GettingStarted.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update HallSensor.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update Menu.md * Update History.md * Update History.md updated history with some of the Releases that were missing. * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update README.md * Update Temperature.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update Flashing.md * Update Flashing.md * Update Temperature.md * Update Temperature.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update DebugMenu.md * Update Temperature.md * Update Temperature.md * Update Temperature.md * Update Temperature.md * Update README.md Co-authored-by: discip <53649486+discip@users.noreply.github.com> * Update Temperature.md * Update Troubleshooting.md In which troubleshooting conditions/symptoms would: (1) Re-calibrating tip offset temperature be appropriate? (2) Re-Calibrating Input voltage be appropriate? I think these 2 internal tests would be helpful sections for Troubleshooting, but not sure of all details to write-up. * Update GettingStarted.md Co-authored-by: discip <53649486+discip@users.noreply.github.com>

# PD Debug menu

|

On the Pinecil; if the iron is booted up while holding the front button (+); it will show an extra menu for inspecting USB-PD power adapters. Connect to any PD USB power to check Vbus status, even some cell phones with a USB-C port will work if it is PD. It will not show any PD message when Pinecil is powered by DC port, QC, or USB 5V (non-PD).

On the Pinecil; if the iron is booted up while long holding the front button (`+`); it will show an extra hidden menu for inspecting USB-PD power adapters. We can also connect to any PD USB power to check Vbus status, even some cell phones with a USB-C port will work if it is PD. It will not show PD messages when Pinecil is powered by DC port, QC, or USB 5V (non-PD). For example, if you connect to a QC charger, you may simply see "PD State 6" which indicates "waiting for source" as no PD messages will be ever be sent and you will not be able to use (`+`) to scroll through PD negotiated messages.

##Below is a method for user modification to convert some early models of Pinecil V1 to safely support 24V on the DC5525 barrel.

Warning (do this at your own risk, read everything in this debug document, and go to the Pine64 chat if you need tips). If you do the cut incorrectly, you could render the Pinecil non-working.

|

⚠️ Warning: do this at your own risk, read everything in this document, and go to the [Pine64 community chat](https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinecil#Community_links) if you desire advice. An incorrect cut of the trace could render the Pinecil non-working.

A simple user modification to the PCB on some models of V1 allows it to safely use DC24V by cutting a trace line to the Vbus which held it back to 21V. You can check whether your Pinecil V1 needs the update or can benefit from it by using the PD debug menu. After a few seconds or after PD negotiates (state above 5) it will show [No VBus] if the VBus modification is performed correctly or not needed (i.e., late model V1) or it shows [VBus] if the mod has not been done and there is still a connection to the Vbus.

Background: a simple user modification to the PCB on some models of original V1 allows it to safely use DC24V by cutting a trace line to the Vbus which held it back to 21V. You can check whether your Pinecil V1 needs the update or can benefit from it by using the PD debug menu. After a few seconds or after PD negotiates (state above 5) it will show `[No VBus]` if the VBus modification is performed correctly or not needed (i.e., late model V1). Alternately, if it shows `[VBus]`, then the mod has not been done and there is still a connection to the Vbus (and Vbus connection limits you to 21V).

||||
|
||||
The mod method is shown in the February 2022 Pine64 community [Updates](https://www.pine64.org/2022/02/15/february-update-chat-with-the-machine/). Early Pinecil V1 models required cutting a trace. Late model V1 made sometime in 2022 came with [No Vbus] already displayed, and no mod required.
