A reflow toaster/plate controller… tune in live as we build this project 🙂
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

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."
