WB O2 Success

[Kevin _]

I don't know exactly how the DIY-WB board's circuitry is set up to heat the 
sensor, but I do know you should be able to heat it a bunch quicker than 
that.  The production NTK driver box heats the sensor in about 5 seconds and 
the Horriba driver box heats the sensor in less than 10 seconds.  I can't 
confirm that you can just drop down the resistance to accomplish this 
properly and safely though.
