Version Changes

V2.19

• Bug-fix Infinite Boot Logo
• Shutdown settings for MHP30
• Accelerometer sensitivity for MHP30
• Allow showing unique device ID
• Bug-fix chance of a power pulse at device boot
• Updated translations
• Improved documents, added features table

V2.18

• Bootup logo's moved to their own IronOS-Meta repo
• New Vietnamese translation (limited due to screen size)
• Fixes for SC7A20 in TS80(P)
• Updated translations
• Better Instructions/documents

V2.17

Big changes

• Indicate status of VBus for modding Pinecil (debug menu)
• Better hall effect sensor sensitivity adjustment (larger range with more steps)
• Temperature increment will "round" to nearest multiple of increase amount
• Build setup migrated to Alpine (You can now build in docker easily, and on PinePhone/PinePhonePro)
• -> Removed proprietary compiler for Pinecil RISCV now all uses normal gcc
• -> Removed using the arm specific build of gcc for the one that alpine ships (Miniware devices)
• Logo generator python script creates .dfu files for ease of use with Pinecil
• Upgrades to translations
• Support for new GD32103 based TS100 units turning up on the market
• Raw hall effect reading now shows in the Pinecil debug menu
• Fixed automatic orientation for newer TS80P's with the SC7 accelerometer
• User interface slight changes
• New metadata.zip file to allow the Pine Updater to automatically fetch information on releases

Notes

• VBus mod detection may not play well with all PPS chargers. If your iron reboots when you view this in the debug menu its not a fault. (#1226)
• metadata.zip is only designed for use by automatic software, ignore it for normal use
• More details on Pinecil VBus mod coming via other channels.
• Hall effect sensor is not fitted to Pinecil's by default, you have to fit this yourself if you want the feature
• Tweaks to the Accelerometer code means the drivers are slightly more fussy. If you run into any issues let us know in the discussion or issues.
• -> Release has been updated to build e065be3 after one bug with the BMA223 was found.

V2.16

• Overhaul of the Timer+ADC setup with help from @sandmanRO
• Overhaul of the PID with help from @sandmanRO
• Settings should now upgrade in place to future versions, with resets only happening to new/changed settings
• Shows error if tip runaway (failed temperature sensor) is detected
• USB-PD now has a timeout, to allow forcing QC3 negotiation to start faster
• QC3 Voltages are now adjustable to user desired setpoint
• Added a small tolerance to allow "overvoltage" on QC3 above unit specifications.
  • Please note: Doing this is entirely at your own risk!
• New Advanced view that is much nicer to use and a very good daily driver option from @Mel-kior
• OLED brightness and contrast thanks to @alvinhochun
• Scrollbar is fixed so it doesnt jump around when menus are shown/hidden
• Moved to .dfu files from .bin to make flashing commands easier
• Every language had translation updates I believe
• Romanian language added

V2.15

Feature upgrades:

• MHP30 support
• Multi-lingual firmware combinations now exist for Pinecil
• More fine grained voltage controlled options
• USB-PD improvements (version one and two)
• More configuration options for power pulse
• All font / character encoding has been very reworked
• More translation updates than one can count
• More languages 😱

MHP30 support

The MHP30 is a small reflow station from Miniware. Thanks to a massive amount of help from @g3gg0 this firmware brings the beginnings of support for this unit. Also kudo's to @Vinigas and @GoJian for helping with testing. This is not a final version I'm sure, but this is a working, usable version of firmware support. Programs the same as any one Miniware unit using drag and drop. Note: The boot logo scripts will need updates for this unit, so not supported yet.

The flood doors are now open for feature requests for this unit :)
