[chbot] Toaster oven reflow

[Michael Field]

Hi,

For my Christmas project I've been learning how to reflow SMT PCBs in a 
$29 Warehouse toaster oven.  It works really well, at least on my small 
boards. I've got a small stack of excess PCBs and components that I am 
baking every now and then to practice and tweak things.

If anybody else wants to pop out to Springston and have a crack at 
assembling a board then drop me an email.... I would bring it along to a 
meeting but I can't get out in the evenings (and am not sure if Tait 
would like us cooking boards in their meeting room).

I used an FPGA to do the controlling (as I had everything to hand), but 
you could get away with pretty much and $2 microcontroller...
