Reflow Oven Controller

News

  • Forked from 0xPIT & uploaded the code after a lot of restructuration
  • Board design has also changed

Arduino-based reflow oven controller with:

  • PID loop control
  • Wave Packet control for AC output
  • graphic TFT LC-Display, drawing the temperature curves
    • using a 5v compatible 1.8" of 1.44" TFT SPI display with ST7735 controller
  • solely controlled using a cheap rotary encoder and its single button
  • uses a MAX6675 module as interface to a K type thermocouple
  • stores up to 30 temperature profiles in EEPROM
  • configurable PID-parameters
  • simple, small hardware to drive loads up to 600V and up to 2A without heatsink
  • powered throuhg one of three options: 12v RAW pin, 5v pin or 5v USB
  • optional 12v fan control (not yet implemented in the code)
  • Please Note: Requires Arduino IDE 1.5.x or newer

Warning: This project operates with possibly lethal mains voltage. If you are unsure what to do, don't do it and get help from an experienced tinkerer with professional training.

Obtaining the source code

Get the code using git.

git clone https://github.com/hecko/nanoReflowController.git

or download a Snapshot.

I've added some libraries I've used as submodules to the git repositroy, so it is important that, after cloning this repository, you do

git submodule update --init

to fetch all involved libraries. (See: Submodule Cheat Sheet)

Installation

Of course, you need to have the Arduino IDE installed. I've worked with version 1.5.x only and I will not support older versions. Get it from the Arduino Download page or upgrade you current Arduino setup.

There as several dependencies you need to install.

If you are unfamiliar with Arduino Libraries, please read the library guide. Basically, each library needs to be liked or copied into your Arduino library folder.
