After a half year of enjoying the TS100 soldering iron, it was time to upgrade the firmware with the open source one from miniware.
Now i have a better temperature control and a great menu. Good work guys!

GraphQL
Vandaag een presentatie gegeven aan collega’s over GraphQL. Dit is een interessante technologie om allerlei web (micro) services te ontsluiten via 1 API. Daarbij kan in het request bericht precies aangegeven worden welke objecten en velden in de reponse moeten zitten.
