I'd like a similar oven, but the controller would need to have a
temperature display. Also, i still believe a mechanical carriage would be
better to achieve a good profile (sliding the PCB in from the side). The
need to cure direct printed ink will push this SMD soldering oven project
right up on the list of things to do.

I'd be glad to have a fully working PID software for the atmega8, though i
will use a thermocouple instead of the thermistor. Maybe i can use part of
that project.

Anyway, i'm not feeling brave enough to face off that microcontroller
right now, maybe next saturday, at noon ;-)
Maybe i decide to build it analog in the end to avoid all problems....
