Tiny Reflow Controller with OLED display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tiny-reflow-controller-oled-display/
Last time we examined how to build a DIY Reflow Oven controller using the Tiny Reflow Oven Controller v1 by Rocket Stream. However, Rocket Stream recently released the Tiny Reflow Controller V2 and for today’s tutorial, we will attempt to build this second version. The Tiny Reflow controller v1 we discussed in the first article […]
Tiny Reflow Controller with character LCD
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tiny-reflow-controller-character-lcd/
Reflow ovens are an important part of the development of PCB for electronic products when using surface mount components. They provide a route through which PCBs can be quickly populated with SMD components, however, for accurate results, the heat across the oven needs to be controlled and timed correctly. To achieve this, manufacturers use a […]

How to Control a Reflow Oven with Raspberry Pi
https://www.electronics-lab.com/control-reflow-oven-raspberry-pi/
Here is a great Raspberry Pi based Reflow oven controller from “apollo-ng” on GitHub. You can edit your temperature curve on your browser and Rasberry Pi controls the solid state relays and fan. Turns a Raspberry Pi into a cheap, universal & web-enabled Reflow Oven Controller. Of course, since it is basically just a robot […]
1″ 100W Hot-Plate for SMT Reflow
https://www.electronics-lab.com/1%e2%80%b3-100w-hot-plate-for-smt-reflow/
This is a small hot-plate for SMT reflow soldering build upon an Arduino Pro and controlled using PWM and high side power MOSFETs. Black Mesa Labs has been using a $20 hot plate for a year now for soldering QFN ICs to PCBs. Only issue so far has been the size ( 10″x10″x3″ ) and […]
SMD Soldering Reflow Oven
https://www.electronics-lab.com/smd-soldering-reflow-oven/
Here is a nice tutorial on how to build your own reflow soldering oven using ControLeo2 reflow oven controller. This particular instructable is based on the ControLeo2 reflow oven controller by Peter Easton. This is by far the best I’ve come across and the software is fully open source. It can control up to 4 solid […]
Surface-mount device prototyping in education
https://www.electronics-lab.com/surface-mount-device-prototyping-in-education/
In this article Vassilis K. Papanikolaou explains how SMD prototyping practice can be used in learning environments using simple and wide available tools and equipment: A feasibility study is herein attempted, towards the adaptation of modern surface-mount device (SMD) prototyping practice to learning environments. This necessity emerges not only from the profound advantages of the […]
