Toaster modding

This is a modification on my noname toasters 4060 based controller.

I did not like the design flaws of it having problems if I change the burn time after the toaster was started. Sometimes it never stopped, and burned the toast. I am also a big fan of indicators, and would like some feedback of how long time it is from releasing the toast. Ultimately I would like a 7-seg display for this, but the powersupply on the design will not work if we use too much current (It will not lock the el-magnet to hold the springs down and start the heater). So a single LED was used, and works pretty ok.

I could have made a separate PSU unit, but the space inside the toaster is limited and the Toaster itself did not cost that much, so I just used parts I already had.

The finished product. Notice the new LED between the controller dial and the reset button. thetoaster-finished.jpg
