Originally conceived as an alternative firmware for the TS100, this firmware has evolved into a complex soldering iron control firmware. The firmware implements all the standard features of a 'smart' soldering iron, with lots of little extras and tweaks.
What I really like about this software is, just like open source software for routers, it unlocks potentially lots of extra functionality you won't find with the factory firmware. Also, if you are in the market to buy a brand-new soldering iron, the project does recommend a few specific ones to consider. That will be a useful resource for me, knowing which ones may work best with open source software.
