The TS100 is apparently not recommended for IronOS according to their README. Curious why you chose that one over, for instance, a recommended TS80P or better a Pinecil V2? Full disclosure: I have a 15 year old Weller WD1 so I don't know much about this.

The TS100 was just the only one of these I could buy for an acceptable price in an acceptable time period. Mine was 35 bucks.

I ordered mine as used device here in Germany. Aliexpress would have taken weeks and Amazon was just to expensive (cheapest about 80 bucks).

Thanks! Yeah the IronOS site says the TS100 is only not recommended because of some knockoffs. IronOS is very cool, I’ll probably pick up a Pinecil.
