Reflow Oven

A custom toaster-oven-based solder reflow oven designed for assembling surface-mount PCB projects. This repository contains the hardware design files, KiCad PCB project, and STM32 firmware source code for a microcontroller-controlled reflow oven.

Overview

This project converts a standard toaster oven into a controlled solder reflow oven. The goal is to create a repeatable heating system that can follow a solder reflow temperature profile for assembling surface-mount components.

The system is built around a custom PCB and an STM32 microcontroller. The controller reads temperature feedback, drives the oven heating element through a relay/control circuit, and provides user control for starting and monitoring the reflow process.

This project was inspired by the DIY reflow oven concept shown in the Instructables project: DIY REFLOW OVEN. That project demonstrates the general idea of modifying a toaster oven into a solder reflow oven, while this repository focuses on my own STM32-based hardware and PCB implementation.

Features

  • Custom PCB designed in KiCad
  • STM32-based embedded controller
  • Toaster oven heating control
  • Temperature feedback for reflow profile control
  • Hardware files for schematic and PCB layout
  • STM32CubeIDE project files
  • Firmware source code written primarily in C
  • Designed to support surface-mount PCB assembly image

Questions

How big is the ReflowOven PCB?

It measures 54.5 × 104.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ReflowOven use?

17 parts, built around the IRM-05-5. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the ReflowOven KiCad files?

From the gevanisko/ReflowOven repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ReflowOven.kicad_pcb and its schematic ReflowOven.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ReflowOven design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask gevanisko before reusing the design.
