Ben, u so crazy

Toaster Oven can do so much better.

That's like saying "Why do the British say aluminium instead of aluminum?" Difference in geographic location, dialect so on and so forth.

a PID controler would be much more easy and safe to implement, probably more cheaper too.., i recoment REX-C100 its cheap, made in japan, and it can be found with thermocouple and quality relay in the same package. it's not a commercial, it's an advice for those who need a reflow oven.

[3mariusx]

because it's much more cheaper than buying an original reflow oven!!

7:58 how is it supposed to turn it on? :P

[MrFox Michael]

May I ask? Why the hell would someone do that? -_-

[AORX3]

go toaster :D

When i'm disassembling smth i like to take a photo before :)

Why can't americans pronounce the word "solder"?

The entire point of an arduino is ease of use. You dont actually need to buy an arduino to get all the functionality of one. The little board they sell you just makes connections to the processor easier. As such, why not make the board accept a wide variety of input voltages? That way, the arduino is even more user friendly and has a wider range of imbed applications. Look at your typical chinese PID controller. They will run off 10-200volts ac or dc and is half the size and cost of an arduino.

And why does arduino not have a h-hridge on it so it can drive stepper motors???

What else do you want? 400AC input? 230 Output? integrated coffeemachine?

I don't know any board you can drive with AC - maybe because there are very few AC converters to low voltage?
