A reflow toaster/plate controller… tune in live as we build this project 🙂
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Can’t wait to see the build on this! I’m excited to try a reflow plate myself and this is gonna be the perfect way to get started!
At last! Perfect grilled-cheese every time!
Very excited to build one for myself. Are you using the PowerSwitch Tail for this?
aww, no PID Library?
we wanted to show how PID works, since it has to be tuned anyways 🙂
there’ll be a pointer to your library at the end
On AAE the other night looked like all the pans you were evaluating were 12"-14" – is the intended use one board at a time or several?
If a single board – would a smaller area be better / more even heat?
$20 for a 600W 7" with tempered glass lid seems like a good

Also – most of the skillets I’ve seen have a non-stick coating – lots of chatter in the cooking forums about these films releasing toxins – found one article claiming"
"15 toxic gases and chemicals, including two
carcinogens.’ The release of toxic fumes from
nonstick cookware is known to kill pet birds
at much lower temperatures—as low as 464F."
