I just received this wee iron yesterday, best soldering iron I've ever owned. The custom firmware just makes it even better
Ya I've had mine for years and it's great
I didn’t think I felt like dealing with installing custom FW but after watching this I see it takes like 10 seconds, so I’m doing it! Thanks!
Yea going to update mine too... and yea good top lile both and ts80 is even smaller
Love my ts100! Only had it a couple months but it’s helped build 3 rigs and make a ton of repairs. Now I get to pimp it out lol. About to replace my case to the clear one as I cracked my stock black one. And yes that’s my fav tip as well. It was the second til I bought and prolly the last. I’ve built a micro with it and a couple 5 inch rigs on the same tip. Love the size of it.
I bought the TS100 in july, paid € 49. Took more than two months to reach Belgium. I installed the ralim firmware v 2.05.01, released on august 2, so a new release should be imminent. It is a nice tool. I power it up with 18 cells 18650 in a 6S3P configuration. Heats in seconds.
I use a similar tip on my big, old 60 watt Aoyue 9378 soldering station. I call the "the hoof."
You can use the big cylinder edge for XT60 connections, the foot of the hoof for medium-sized pads on ESCs and whatnot, and you can use the edge of the foot for rather tiny pads. You are correct. It is extremely versatile!
The Hakko T12 tips with a 3D printed adapter for the Hakko grip are the best tips for the TS100 👍🏼
About a shit ton more options for tips as well 👍🏼👍🏼
Also, small pitch chisel tips are the industry standard in every other PCB component level work other than in FPV lol
For those that are comparing and commenting about the TS80 and are considering the TS80 over the TS100:
Unfortunately, as some have suggested, the TS80 will NOT run off of a USB port on laptops because many will not provide enough output power. When you plug it in and power it on, it will say "low voltage".
Similar to the TS100, what you will need with the TS80 is a seperate power source, either the wall jack / USB adapter that comes with the TS80, or a portable USB power source, or a spare laptop power supply with a converted adapter to plug into the TS80 to power it.
Although I like the form factor and shape of the TS80, and the tool-less tip removal connectivity, you also have to consider buying and / or carrying an extra power source for the TS80 just like for the TS100. Also, with the exception of a rechargeable USB power bank, all the other power options for the TS80 have to be plugged into a wall, which means that despite the smaller size and cool form factor, you really don't gain anything (such as portability) over the TS100. While the TS80 can get adequately hot for most jobs, the advantage of the TS100 is the greater voltage range as well as a higher peak voltage. The latter allows for you to keep the tip hotter and to not cool off as fast as the TS80 when doing larger connections or when doing any rework or cleanup.
With the TS100, you can get a 3D printed adapter that will allow you to attach Hakko grip near the end, that also provides a built-in stand, which is pretty damn cool option. Also, with the TS100, you have a variety of tip options, and can even use Hakko tips in it as well, but at the time of writing, I am unsure about different types of tips for the TS80, although they may be working on them.
Because of these factors, you are probably still better off going with the TS100 (at least for now) instead of the TS80. The TS80 is a great iron, but its greatest weakness is the feature set, power options, voltage range, and success of the TS100.
You can use the USB output on the 6x 1S charger that comes with mobula 7 or similar to power ts80 !
Why didn't you include a link for the 3D printed adapter?
Mine is on its way. Your instructions are really clear but I bet you that I will end up watching this a dozen times because I’ll still manage to stuff it up. Ow well that’s my style I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ll just jump in and do it anyway
I keep seeing this on sale and keep trying to convince myself I need to spend money on one because I love electronic gadgets and soldering, but my basic 'brick' powered 48watt iron has done me so well, dead simple to use; power switch and temperature dial, and have only had to replace the main wand part once in the past 10 years.
Maybe when I get to the stage of needing to do on site repairs I'll be able to convince myself I need it :)
great colorscheme going on at the quad at the background! Favourite Fpv channel!
Thanks Drew! Your timing on this vid was spot on. I will be doing this very soon.
Well done! While a bit too much information for me, I finally had success updating the firmware through your process; having previously and unsuccessfully viewed 3 or 4 others! So again, thank you! BTW, I was very shocked to hear you lost your 'tools' when exiting China as I never had an issue when I brought out a bundle of tools, i.e; a couple of drills, socket kit, multi-meter, and screwdriver kits. But they were in the 'Checked In' bags rather than 'Carry On'...maybe that was the difference?
Thank you, I just got a TS100 & did my custom
Pimp my iron
lol love it
🤣🤣🤣
Really cool. I happen to do pixel art, so this is perfect. I will definitely do this when I buy mine.
I wanna put a cat in it :D
Finally have a chance today to upgrade my fw on my ts100. This vid made it easy! Thanks drew👍
Updating the fw and putting a clear case on it today. It’s gonna look sick. Heck I want to put a tiny led inside the case too. I wonder where I can fit one I’ve got a few super tiny leds somewhere.
Thank you for the video. I use mine a lot and haven't done that yet but will now.
Dunno why but I prefer this channel over the main one...
Thanks this should take the rest of the day
Thanks Drib, been wanting to try this
Mine installed successfully, but I never have a logo come on during boot. That’s a bummer.
The BC2 is the best soldering tip in general. Max heat transfer. Tapers to small point or large wedge... its the best of all worlds
I want to get one just so i can out my logo on it now,Sweet video!
Can you do one explaining how to put the logo on the LaForge screen please? Awesome content!
You plugged in the micro usb with only two tries.
Burn that witch!
😂😂😂
You said you use windows to run the logo creator??? I can't find it in the repository
awesome tip, I'll have to try this on mine
Oooo, what's that behind you? Looks like the Skyliner but with an aluminum cage? Or is it just reflecting light weird from the colored standoffs? I like the bits on the arms too!
Very cool now i just need to get out n fly 😕
I want that drib logo 😁
how do i make sure the logo stays on all the time? in the settings there is but it does not work
I got the same tip and paid 34 bux on wish wit a coupon freaking love the thing took a month to come in but saved so much money biying it on wish witch surprised me so much
Geez, I think you got ripped off. Those tips are less than US $9 on Banggood.

its called a chisel tip
Thanks Dr Le Drib
I have to get one of these
I got one today and I love it, done the firmware upgrade right out of the box
Just did this! Would’ve been nice soldering my xt60 .. doing that at 400 degrees with a fine tip was next to impossible and came out rather janky
i followed both your instructions and the ones on the website. However when I loaded the logo file the iron would not turn on when plugged in :(
im having same issue, did you find a fix
@@apluspool34 sorry not yet. If I do I'll post it here 👍
I was checking comments for others who may be having this issue. Is it actually not turning on or is it just not displaying the logo? I thought mine wouldn't turn on but it was just not displaying anything. Pressing buttons will bring the screen to life. Every thing seems to work then however some of the menus are glitchy specifically Check boxes. I've given up on the logo for now and just flashed the basic firmware. I'm beginning to think new models have issues with the logo cuz I've tried about everything. The new firmware is great and the logo is just for show. I'll be watching the github to see if this is adressed.
@@dripfreefpv9695 make sure you are using the newest loader, thats what fixed my problem it was on the first page
@@apluspool34 You are correct sir! It was actually on the second page. Probably because there was a new release a couple days ago that pushed it back. I skimmed right past that and downloaded an older release. Thanks I was really beating my head against the wall with this one.
i have a mac. The link provided (after scrolling to mac sections) sends me to a page to download TS100.Logo.Editor.exe however that file is not there. how can i find it.
Same here. It looks like the file disappeared. Does anyone have a link to the editor?
github.com/Ralim/ts100/releases/download/v1.15/TS100.Logo.Editor.exe
Awesome, thanks for sharing👌
the logo wont work , as soon as i drop it in the folder message comes up saying THIS IS NO LONGER LOCATED IN COMPUTER VERIFY THE ITEMS LOCATION AND TRY AGAIN, and it automatically disconnects and wont reconnect until u plug it out and in again
I just got mine and did the firmware upgrade and after I was looking in the menus. then went to use it. it went up to 400c then said bad tip
Hmm bummer, followed this exactly and got the .rdy but the logo still didn't show up
I think you should talk about your 3D printer amd what set backs you've faced. I think many of us see 3D printing as some type of voodoo magic.
cant get my logo to work, infact it screws up the CFW ....
Drib, instructions are clear, but, where to get usb cable to conect ts100 with computer?
Dollar Tree. It is a standard USB to MicroUSB cable. I'll bet you have one in your junk drawer at home.
why does a soldering iron have a gyroscope and a accelerometer
It senses when you put it down and goes to "sleep" to slow the oxidization of the tip.
@@ZaiFuchigami Its not going to oxidize if its tinned. Besides thats why "real" soldering stations have a sponge base to keep a clean tip.
nightmare: the gyroscope id to switch the iron back on after its gone to sleep,,, the accelerometer lets you solder faster & faster
Cool thanks for that!
Great Video 👌
good one man like it
What 3D printer do you use ?
Kool shit!! Cheers!!!
Mine only has 7KB of free space out of 8KB... Not sure why but i cant update the firmware because the file is 122KB.
Make sure to press the button and hold it while you’re plugging in the USB cable
What about some pink LEDs?
Hi how do I remove the drib logo from my ts100
I'm having the same issue...
hope they send your tools back.... don't understand why they took em like that....
With this firmware can i pump up the temperature to 450°c for a couple of seconds?
Yes. In fact you can just set it to 450 constant
Im all good until I drop my custom Hex in and then its dead. Drop firmware on and im up and running again. not sure why. I see the custon logo hex load then I disconnect and plug in power and nothing. Anyone have any ideas
try different computer it worked for me
Ugh!! Had this argument with China security so many times. The airline rules say I can bring the tools, but China says no!! Even tho I am flying OUT OF THE COUNTRY on an AMerican airline!! Yeesh...yet I have no problem bringing tools IN!!! Flying out they have to be in checked bags, which means when I go thru customs in the USA I have to wait for my bags to be unloaded and I miss my connecting flight...You do have the option to mail them to yourself, but you would probably have had a really hard time doing that since no one speaks English..
Why you no get TS80?
Can the ts100 run off your laptop like the Ts80?
Likely not. The TS-100 receives power via the barrel port, the USB port is only for programming.
You did get your tools back when you left china. Right?
No, the tools were stolen by security when he was departing China.
Maybe the security folks wanted the tools to use at home.
Wow, got jacked leaving china!😐 That sucks!😕 I'm a little surprise they did not take your cameras and kwads!🤔
Teaches him to go to China. Da fuq does anyone want to go to China for?
@@ulfrinn8783 the Virus.
@@AtlantaTerry yummy, bat soup
first of all holy crap good timing. less good news... my computer refuses to transfer the hex file. It says the file is too large for the drive (its not)... o and more good news now i cant use it. Its not bricked though... just no firmware on it and i cant get the new firmware on.
never mind i tried a different computer and it worked. No clue why.
UPDATE: They've removed the program to customize your logo...bummer...
I've just loaded my logo onto it no probs.
github.com/Ralim/ts100/releases/download/v2.02/TS100.Logo.Editor.exe
There it is!
Piskel is a great pixel artwork editor if anyone is looking for free online stuff
Why would Chinese airport security take your tools? Maybe they wanted them at home.
Next time, what about mailing the tools home rather than carry them with you?
Why on earth would someone want a drib logo ???
Eeeeeewww apple
Imagine people talking your stuff...alteast let me mail it back to myself yknow?
Why didn't let you just throw away just the "dangerously looking" tip from the TS100? That would cost you only like 10$ instead of 100$ :(
Omg honestly I feel really dumb for not suggesting that. I didn’t even think of it 🤦🏻♂️
@@drib2896 It happens in situations like that when stress is working. I bet I wouldn't come up with this solution neither xD
Anyway, great video again Drew. I love your vlogs. Keep it up man :)
Hi ledrib
OMFG ... YOUR logo works... mine... NOPE
Or you could just buy a "real" soldering station from Weller with all you need to solder without having to download firmware into it. There is a reason why soldering stations have a base unit. Because if you want constant temperature reliability and the power and precise control of a fine tip. That thing may be fine if you want to solder a 24 ga wire together.

Will you people PLEASE stop saying "soddering", there is a "L" in the bloody name FGS!, "sole......dering" please!
Its pronounced soddering... Do you say laugh as laf or laaa gu huh

@@PixelLabsMinecraft lol, you say tamayto hehe
@@PixelLabsMinecraft i actually stand corrected. It was originally pronounced "soddering", in english, but was later changed to "soldering" to avoid confusion with sodemy. Didnt actual know that 🤓
