We have tested all the necessary peripheral and now working on the reflow characteristic of our oven. Our initial plan is to arbitrarily control the oven without any PID control algorithm before implementing a more accurate PID control on the system. We are using a 800 W oven with top and bottom heating element shown below. We have so far manage to test the oven up to 260 \u2103. We just love the size of the oven as all the PCB that we have worked on so far (either single or panel) fits into the oven nicely. The glass door is a bonus that allows us to observe the reflow process.<\/p>\n
We’ll be releasing the hardware design and related firmware once it is finalized based on CC BY-SA 3.0. This reflow oven controller will have it own project folder in this blog for easier access and organization. The final version of the design will also be on sale at our website<\/a> once we complete all the testing.<\/p>\n Here are a couple more images of the reflow oven controller:<\/p>\n It has been pretty quiet on the blog lately. We are busy testing all our designs and perform redesign and corrections on the prototypes. There’s a pile of yet to be released boards too. One of the current project we are working on is an Arduino based reflow oven controller. We have been using SMT […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,16],"tags":[151,11,17],"class_list":["post-166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects","category-reflow-oven-controller","tag-arduino","tag-reflow-controller","tag-shield"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1457,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions\/1457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.rocketscream.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/CTO-12HP1.jpg\" "\\"CTO-12HP1\\"")
