Overview

OpenReflowPlate is an open-source printed circuit board by makingdevices, from the makingdevices/OpenReflowPlate repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 55 × 84.4 mm with 71 parts on 100 nets, routed with 852 tracks and 137 vias.

It is built around the HLK-5M05, MAX31855KASA+ and CC56-12EWA, with the TC1108-3.3VDBTR, SML-H12V8TT86 and ZLLS410TA among its other parts. Its parts include 26 resistors, 11 capacitors, 7 transistors, 6 diodes and 6 connectors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

Making Devices

Open Source projects where we struggle with engineering, electronics, coding and who knows what else... In this case, OpenReflowPlate is a simple reflow plate for SMD PCBs, so hopefully you may find it interesting ;)

About The Project

Bytes Counter Shot

OpenReflowPlate wants to be a complete controller where you can attach to it any heat plate and create a reflowplate for SMD components and PCBs. Right now, it is in prototype stage as I do not even have a PCB layout, just testing the capabilities with an expansion board from my Thermo-Logger-Device project. The microcontroller will be the PIC18F45k50.

This device is under development, so I do encourage you to not assembly, order any PCB or use any software from this repository until the project is finished.

Usage

Instructions of use:

  • Only one MAX31855KASA is in use.
  • I use the LED output to activate an SSR to control the heat plate.

Roadmap

  • Validate the product with the expansion board and the thermo logger device.
  • Finish the Python software to control the heatplate.
  • Start/finish the new PCB
    • PIC18F45k50.
    • Add 8 segment display.
    • Add buttons for standalone mode.
    • Develop the PID strategy inside the firmware of the microcontroller.
    • Isolated USB communication to avoid any damage to the PC if in use.
  • Test/Validate the project.

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).

Questions

How big is the OpenReflowPlate PCB?

It measures 55 × 84.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpenReflowPlate use?

71 parts, built around the HLK-5M05, MAX31855KASA+, CC56-12EWA and TC1108-3.3VDBTR. 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 OpenReflowPlate KiCad files?

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

Can I use the OpenReflowPlate design in my own project?

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