Upgraded oven is back at the Space
Thanks to @Majicj for organizing this and thanks to all that donated $$

  1. I will update the Wiki but until I do you can get any needed info from here: https://www.whizoo.com/
  2. I have done a few small test boards with leaded paste (using the leaded paste profile) and although the temp setting seems much higher than the old oven it seems to work fine. This may actually be a better setting for larger boards as I know people had issues sometimes doing them in the past.
  3. I have yet to do any non-leaded runs so curious to know about peoples experiences.
  4. We now have the old Controleo2 controller complete with thermocouple and servo mounting kit. You may want to sell this off as it still a great controller, just not as fancy as the V3 (with it’s in your face touch screen). I will drop it off at the Space next time I am there (forgot it this morning)
