Actually, i think you are right!
I don't need an automatic timed control at all.
I mean, let's be realistic, i will stare into the oven in anticipation  
anyway while i solder something and i don't plan on doing lots and lots of  
boards any time soon.

So a simple controller that is set with a pot and has a temperature  
display would be all that is needed!


I'd say KISS is the right thing to do here, and get it finished today....
