Thread: DIY Induction Annealer

In the final stags of building my annealer. However, I have run into a problem connecting the negative (-) side of the induction board to the Amp probe, the suggested wire size is >2mm² but this diameter wire is way to large to connect to the probe. What and how did you connect it?

Ok, I need some help. I got everything connected and powered up but I get nothing on the display none of the less on the switches light up. Doubled checked and triple checked all the connection and they are correct. There is 12v going to the Arduino shield board and the green LED is lit. Any suggestion what to test for next? I even tried a new UNO and reflashed the UNO that came with the shield.

That's a real achievement eh. Well done!

Do you get any volts on any of the arduino outputs Can you press the strat button to get any V change. Sounds like something is shorted out. Where is the 12 V supply for the arduino coming from. what is supplying the ZVS portion with its higher voltage.

This thread has been pretty inactive i would suggest a look at accurate shooter there is an active (150 page) thread on the gina attric that these builds were designed off.

Anyone thinking of building one I have a working one I built including spare parts that is sitting gathering dust as basically when I finished it a mate picked up an amp annealer second hand so we are using that.

From memory I had over $500 of parts including the spares and the box.

Would sell it for $350

So who else has one gathering dust or an incomplete project. If I can scrape up some bits I will make one up for a friend.
