title: Making a custom bootscreen for your TS100 Soldering Iron

There are a bunch of [posts](https://blog.dbrgn.ch/2017/9/5/creating-custom-ts100-logo-with-gimp/) online about how to add a custom bootscreen to a TS100 soldering iron. These things are great, if you get a little USB-C to jack adapter you can run them off a powerbank and they're tiny so you can keep them with you wherever you go. Which of course you should.
I did have some trouble getting the image into the write format though, after messing around a little I settled on this command using ImageMagick:
```bash
convert image.png -depth 1 -monochrome BMP3:LOGOIN.BMP
```
Then you can use `identify` to check that the metadata of the output is indeed 1-bit in depth.
```bash
identify LOGOIN.BMP
```

The correct command is:
```bash
convert Untitled.png -depth 1 -monochrome BMP3:LOGOIN.BMP && ls -l LOGOIN.BMP && identify LOGOIN.
```
