Arduino reflow-oven / hot-plate controller

Details

I can use help

The person who wants to write (or modify, see below) decent reflow-oven software in c++ for the UPC board receives € 200 and also a free UPC board, front plate and thermocouple board and thermocouple.

Because the UPC board can measure temperature with a thermocouple, it can very well be used as a hot-plate or reflow-oven controller.
By the way, I prefer a hot-plate because you can rearrange the SMD components during soldering, which is often necessary.

You only need an extra (low-cost €5) MAX6675 thermocouple board:

I haven't had time for the software yet, but there are several open source programs available. The 0xPIT / reflowOvenController on GitHub is very suitable because it also uses a TFT display. I think that only a small change is needed to make it suitable for the UPC board.
