What you need

• Arduino or electronic controller
• Connection cables
• Thermocouple or thermometer
• Voltage regulator
• Tin support rings

Steps

1. Connect the tin melting furnace to the power supply.
2. Install a thermocouple or thermometer inside the furnace to monitor the temperature.
3. Connect the tin melting furnace to an electronic controller like Arduino.
4. Program the Arduino sketch to regulate the furnace temperature.
5. Check the datasheet to set the desired melting temperature.
6. Position the tin inside the furnace on support rings.
7. Start the melting process by monitoring the temperature through the thermocouple.
8. Check the datasheet to make any necessary safety adjustments.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // Verifica sul datasheet per impostare la temperatura desiderata
  // Esempio: if (temperatura >= temperatura_fusione) digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
}
