RE: Smart solder reflow oven update

tfm_ — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 21:50:48 GMT

Hi, I know it’s been a long time since you worked on this project. I bought an AMS369FG03-102 display about 11 years ago for your reflow oven build, and I still have it unused.

I’d like to repurpose this display with an STM32F429I-DISCO, as you recommended to me at the time. Do you still have the adapter PCB available, or the design files (Gerbers) and BOM for it? If you also have schematics or any firmware notes, I’d really appreciate them.

Thanks a lot,

Thiago

Nice idea with coupling with psoc4. Meanwhile I needed to check how does a photodiode works to do same thing

Having watched your video I wish I was back in Australia. I liked your use of the PSoC 4. I have tried using PSoC 3 in the recent past but without too much success, but I did use the original PSoC I in it's very early days when it plugged into the parallel port of a PC to run the programmer. We had to stop using them in the end as we moved to a network of PCs and they shut out the hardware parallel ports for security reasons.

Many thanks for the kind comments.

Brilliant video presentation! Impressive programming of the PSoC. I have seen a few different programming methods for these LED's, but this has to be the best I have seen!

RE: I’ve fixed my PoC5LP Brainwaves Appliance Controller

Fig4 in datasheet shows the connections to a processor (Arduino uno in your application). The Arduino code needs to access the TGAM registers through a UART serial interface and then prepare and send the data to a computer through another UART interface and in a format that can be processed by audacity application. There are a few issues that need to be clarified: how fast the data needs to be transferred to the computer (this depends on your specific application; see page 3 of datasheet for baud rates - for raw eeg you will need 57.6k). There is still other information needed like for example how to access the internal registers and read the measured data in TGAM chip - there should be probably a user manual with this information (register map and access protocol). Additionally writing the code needs to be done in parallel with testing the code on a prototype system (mindflex gear + Arduino board + USB interface to computer + Audacity running on the computer). Just the Arduino code written "abstractly" may not work from the first time when tested on prototype system, so additional iterations will probably be needed. This becomes quite a complex project that involves significant time and effort. I can try to help you with answering specific questions but because I am involved in multiple other projects at this time I don't think I will have the time needed to develop this entire system.

Do you have the datasheet of Mindflex EEG?

I think I need more details. I can probably build a project fro the info that you sent me but it may use a different approach than what you at planning to use and maybe different/additional components. I think I need more detailed info (specifications) of what you want to build and the specifications (and datasheets of the components/boards that you plan to use) of what you need me to help with.

Sure, send me details and I can write the code for your project.

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.

@ Cosmin Iorga

Can you break up the code into other libraries? In my world of software, big usually led to problems when debugging.. Look for any repetitive code or long loops.

Nice update Cosmin,

When I got into this business over forty years ago the first thing I learned was to check on what the development tools did TO me.

Over the years I have run into many interesting and subtle artifacts left in editors, assemblers, compilers and IDE's.

Hopefully Cypress will clear up the issue. I am looking forward to see how you develop this device.

There was a defect in PSoC Creator 2.1 that robbed you of two opamps. If you install any later version you'll get them back. We just released v3.1, by the way, but any newer version will return your prized opamps!

This project looks really cool, I love how you made this big monster bluetooth, small, and compact. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials/ Reviews
