Very nice blog on your tiny hot plate/reflow oven project. The results were quite amazing (as long as you had the proper about of solder). Well done!

It was fascinating to watch the solder actually melting and the components 'falling' into place. I have never seen that before. I quite liked the idea of just having a small PCB heater to achieve the PCB soldering. It was interesting to see something so simple in construction doing the job. One day I might have a go at this myself.

Hi Wolfgang,

This is a very nice and useful project. I am glad you included the parts where things didn't work out as we can all learn better from failures than successes. Did you give any thought to using a thermocouple instead of the thermistors?
