Is there a git repository for this? I'd really like to know the secret sauce to integrate photo capture to my Android app!

A solder oven controller, written in Qt so I can debug it on my laptop over serial.

On the phone it uses bluetooth.

It helps to see a picture of the oven on the background so you're using the correct PID settings.

Since it's a phone it would make sense to just snap a picture of a new oven in the app before calibration.

Nice! I've always wanted a Hackaday app and I'm glad to see movement in that direction. I'd love to see a full-fledged app which lets you view and search projects, post comments, edit projects, etc.

Thanks! The current version is purposefully simple to gauge interest and further development.
