uC based reflow oven controller

techFX reflow tools 5.0 is out!! go get it!

windows version that is. :slight_smile: will see what we can do for linux.

tons of great features.

-HID bootloader (no driver needed!!) + windows application to upload firmware to board

-support for x64!!!

-new USB driver framework fixes sleep, and some other USB bugs.

-updated graph API’s fixes slow line draws and some other vista specific issues

-added female voice to signal start of reflow stages

-temp and time LCD readouts

-better graphing / updated the graph api… should be a bit faster now.

-stores program settings in registry and last position of some pulldown and selection boxes

-option to load all profiles from controller on 1st controller connect (automaticalluy)

-option to turn off voices (your wife may talk to you too much so why should your computer also??? hahahaha)

-added firmware options box

-3 pid algorithms tested (full on off / PID with on off / PID with PWM on off at extremities

-pid algorithms selectable in windows gui, all in 1 firmware.

-cooldown options by time or temp selectable in windows

-graph title shows all parameters for that run

-more accurate a2d math.

-selectable PID rates from 2.5 mS up to 1 second!!!

-gains now go upto 255 and are better mapped than before, so youll see the differences in the PID algorithm in full pid mode.
