## Updating languages
To update the language translation files & associated font map, execute the `make_translation.py` code from the translations directory.
## Building Pinecil
I highly reccomend using the command line tools and using docker to run the compiler.
Its a bit more fussy on setup than the STM tooling and this is by far the easiest way.
If you _need_ an IDE I have used [Nuclei's IDE](https://nucleisys.com/download.php)

# Version Changes
## V2.13
* First _official_ Pinecil release
* All of the wire for Pinecil releases added
* Updated Translations
* Delay accelerometer to help with entering sleep on startup
* Dual speed PWM to help with power limit control
* Improve heat up time
* Adds locking mode
* Improved docs all over the place
* Repo rename occured TS100 -> IronOS
* Hall effect sensor support added (not fitted in Pinecil but optional)
* QC 20V support for Pinecil
* CI upgrades for faster builds
* Fixed bug with accelerometer model on Pinecil
* Rework of all of the temperature curves for better accuracy
## V2.12
* Only released as pre-release
* [TS80P] Improvements to the PD negotiation to handle a few more adapters cleanly
* Pause on the last item in a list
* Clean up the menu (removed both enables and settings, so that you can turn things off easier)
* Removing the very old single line menu style.
## V2.11
* First TS80P support

# Power & Performance
Both the TS100 and TS80 are PWM controlled resistive heating elements.
All of the irons are PWM controlled resistive heating elements.
This means that the electronics in the handle can only turn the heating element on and off.
This *means* that the power proivded in the tip is 100% controlled by the supply voltage used.
@@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ When the switch is on, the power in the resistor is `Current (I) times Volts (V)
Current through the resistor is `Volts (V) divided by Resistance (R)`.
Combining these two gives the common equation, power is `Volts (V) squared / Resistance (R)`.
The resistance of the tip is fixed, 8.5 ohms for the TS100 and 4.5 ohms for the TS80.
The resistance of the tip is fixed, ~7.5 ohms for the TS100/Pinecil and ~4.5 ohms for the TS80(P).
This means that for both irons, the power delivered to the soldering tip is proportional to the voltage used, squared.
This is why the TS100 performs poorly when run off 12V power supplies.
