Title
Miniware TS100 Soldering Iron Display Replacement
Introduction
At 2017 MiniWare released TS100 soldering iron. With portable design, temperature control, tips with inductive heating (they warm up very fast and was a novelty 7 years ago), wide power voltage range (12-24V) via standard 5.5x2.1mm Jack connector and open source design (firmware and schematics are openly available) and very affordable price (aprox. 80 USD/EUR on release) it became immensely popular in EE and RC hobbyist community. I still use it as my field iron for repairs outside home.
TS100 has small, but bright and crisp monochrome 0.69" OLED display with 96x16 pixel resolution. Display module contain the Adafruit SSD1306 compatible OLED display and I2C interface. Unfortunately first OLED screen generations was short-lived and this display was not an exception. After 7 years due to burn-in my iron screen became too dark to see something. Now is time to replace it. In parts list I added suitable display module in some popular online shops.
In this guide I will tell about TS100 display replacing steps. And some caveats and issues worth to know and how to avoid them.
