TS100 Soldering Iron Power Supply & Cable Mod - YouTube

How to make a flexible cable for the TS100 soldering iron. It's also worth using around 20V Power supply on the TS100 for best results.


In the video I show how to use a laptop power supply to run the TS100 and also how to wire up a flexible silicone cable.

Download ZIP file, extract. - https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/releases

English is the EN file, or choose your language
TS100_EN.hex
Use a decent quality USB cable as I had issues with cheap ones.

Windows
1. Press and hold the button closest to the tip
2. Plug in USB - It will enter DFU mode on the LCD and your conputer will map a drive to it and open as USB
3. Drag the TS100_EN.hex file to the drive letter
4. It will disconnet and reconnet if working
5. You will see a new file ending in RDY if working correctly
6. That's it, unplug and power on normally

If you get a windows Explorer error about not having enough space for the file, try a better quality USB cable as I had this exact issue.
