Hey Everyone,
I am contemplating converting and old toaster oven into something I can reflow solder smd components more effectively. There are numerous builds on the web and many strategies. I have some old Pic 16f84s laying around that I bought spares when I did another project years ago. The Arduino seems popular and there are some custom shields made just for this purpose. **broken link removed** I would like to use the pic but there is very little info for this purpose and I am not familiar enough to write my own code at this time. I have messed a bit with the pic and the AVR but not the Arduino.
I would like the controller to have some data logging capabilities as well and unsure if the Pic has the power for this project.
Here is one build that I like alot but would like to build the controller and power supply into a separate box so that the only invasive stuff to the oven is a thermocouple.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks. Rfranzk.
