This Reflow Oven Controller relies on an Arduino Pro Micro, which is similar to the Leonardo and easily obtainable on eb*y for about $6.00, plus my custom shield, which is actually more like a motherboard.

As I believe it is not wise to have a mess of wiring and tiny breakout-boards for operating mains powered equipment, I've decided to design custom board with easily obtainable components.

The board contains the Arduino Pro Micro, a simple [Zero crossing] detection circuit, used to align control logic to mains frequency, two [MAX31855] thermocouple-to-digital converters and two [Sharp S202S01] PCB-mount solid state relays, mounted on cheap [Fischer SK409 50,8] heat sinks.

The board contains the Arduino Pro Micro, very simple [Zero crossing] detection circuit, used to align control logic to mains frequency, two [MAX31855] thermocouple-to-digital converters and two [Sharp S202S01] PCB-mount solid state relays, mounted on cheap [Fischer SK409 50,8] heat sinks. The current software uses only one of the thermocouples, so you need to populate one IC only.

The software uses [PID] control of the heater and fan output for improved temperature stability. The heater AC load is controlled using [Wave Packet] control, in order to minimize RF interference.

Please note that all important timings are *based on the mains frequency*, so the circuit will **not work** properly without mains connection.

* [PID Autotune] is not very useful, as it seems to be able to tune only to keep a specific temperature value, which is not what we do with a reflow oven. Also, at least my oven seems to be very non-linear when heating up.
