Thread: DIY Induction Annealer

I've been getting quite a few questions from members wanting to build an annealer like this one and most people seem very capable of building everything, but the electronic controller is the hurdle.

Now that we are all in coronavirus lockdown - I am going to have some free time and was thinking of designing a circuit board to sell to members at cost. The board will accept an arduino and will run the software I wrote for my annealer.

looking to see who would be interested in this to see if it's worth doing.

Couple of options:
- blank circuit board + shopping list of parts from Digikey that people can solder themselves (like a Jaycar kitset)
- Get the whole unit assembled in china

If you're interested, let me know what option you would go for.


* the controller is the circuitboard in the yellow box below.
It connects to the OLED display, 48V power supply, ZVS board, 12V power supply, servo or drop solenoid, 3 x buttons, pump, fan, (optional temperature and current sensors)
