v2.17

[Ralim]

2.17

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. (Update VBus mod check location #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.

This discussion was created from the release v2.17 .

[ruslan61rus]

Today i tried to flash pinecil, with dfu tool, but unsuccessfully... Anything changes in flashing method? Before, with 2.16 release, flashing was succesfully.

[Ralim]

Should be no changes from 2.16.
What errors are you getting ?

[ruslan61rus]

Got it. Do not need tick "erase all", and then it flashes successfully)

[Eugene-Market]

Problem with transferring the firmware file to TS100. Tried on different computers on Win10 and Win7. Writes that there is no way to the soldering iron

[Ralim]

Hello,
Most likely you are running into one of the numerous issues with the Miniware bootloader.

Please search the existing issues on this GitHub repository, it has been discussed many times and some of the comments by others should help.

Ubuntu 18 is the solution.

[logser13]

For ts80p russian version 2.17 does not work the motion sensor, but in version 2.16 (with Russian) works.

[Ralim]

Are you affected by this : #1229

[deanZZZZZ]

Tilt angle sensor not work on MHP30

[Ralim]

Hello, have you tested the latest release (2.18?)

[gordon-quad]

Does not work for me with 2.18.70565DE (18-04-2022) downloaded from GitHub Releases.

[Ralim]

Hia,
I think this is fixed now, where tilting will cause unit to shutdown.
Can you give https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS/actions/runs/2454469240 a try

[deanZZZZZ]

yes..same 2.18 writes that it does not detect the sensor
