username 198 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Howdy all, Excited to say I started a kickstarter for my Reflow Oven Controller: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1070729460/zallus-oven-controller Been working on these guys for quite a while now and would finally like to produce them in bulk. Sorry, no MSP430 =( Needed more beef & features at a lower price. RobG, cubeberg, bluehash and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 That look really nice. I'm part way through my own reflow controller, but I've got so many things on that maybe I'll skip it, go for one of yours and get on with something else instead. I'll check it out more thoroughly before jumping in. Your timescales are very optimistic. Funding on 9th November and first deliveries in November. Is that realistic?

Yes, for overseas shipping that probably will not happen. For US based shipping, it shouldn't be an issue. I'll be sure to note that and thanks for the feedback!

kodi 16 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Nate, I always was shouting for this project and Im really happy it reached mature stage. Backed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Congratulations. I'm sure the Hackaday effect helped get you over the line, not that it looked in any danger. I decided to jump in too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rampadc 29 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm inclined to back you as well but I'm a bit short at the moment. Will your kit be sold after Kickstarter and what will the price for the complete kit with 3.2" LCD be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
username 198 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hey rampadc, Thanks for your interest. It is my intention to sell afterwards which a course is the whole point of kickstarter. However, the cost I cannot say until after i've shipped out a bunch of units to get a feel for the true cost of the units. There are many many costs you don't think of when initially creating a BOM on paper. Anyhow, i'm hoping it will be near the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Congratulations! Way over your goal. It looks like you're making good progress on production already. I'm looking forward to mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dpharris 13 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Looking forward to mine, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Your timescales are very optimistic. Funding on 9th November and first deliveries in November. Is that realistic? It looks like I'll have to take that back! I'm very impressed that you're shipping already. Even with customs hold-ups you might get the international ones by then end of the month too. I'm hoping you managed to get them under the customs limit (as per our PM discussion) but no worries if you couldn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodi 16 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 @@Fred - I think you underestimate Nate. I think he is .... "Customs whisperer" or something. My kit got delivered today (Ireland). Didn't have time to try it out yet, but it looks AWESOME! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 @@kodi I definitely underestimated his skills as a Kickstarter Ninja. I hope mine arrives soon too. I've booked next week off work for some geek time. With a bit of luck I'll get my oven up and running near the start of the week and have some board going through it by the end. The only distraction might be this Kickstarter that's also on the way! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wowlabs/real-fx-radio-control-car-racing-system-with-ai Quote Link to post Share on other sites
