Oven Simulation component
Component designed to provide a simple simulation of a real world oven. Can be used with a simple controller such as on/off to create a standard kitchen oven. Can be used with a more complex controller such as PID to create a high accuracy temperature oven e.g. a SMD reflow oven.
