VHS Reflow Oven

VHS now has it's own SMD Reflow Oven It's sitting in the soldering section (looking like a mild mannered toaster oven)…

The oven is based the design and controller found here: http://www.whizoo.com/reflowoven

It is running v2.0 of the software that you can find here: https://github.com/engineertype/ControLeo2 The only thing I added was a VHS splash screen when the controller starts up.

While I didn't document the build of this oven, it is very similar to the one I built for myself and you can find the Instructable for it right here: Make S SMD Reflow Oven

The one feature I added to this oven was the addition of an interior light so you can see your board while it bakes. I found, that with my oven, I was often using a flashlight to watch the process. This is much more convenient.

Hell.. While you are at it you should check out my Instructable on setting up and using a solder paste dispenser. We don't have one at the Space (yet) but it has some basic info on SMD soldering using the oven:
