N76E003 Reflow Oven Controller

As part of coursework, we made a reflow oven controller that controls a 1500W toaster oven to follow a reflow temperature profile through a solid state relay.

  • Firmware written in 8051 Assembly
  • temperature data displayed using a Python program and serial port
  • I2C LCD panel and buttons for user interface
  • Thermocouple with op amp used to make precise temperature measurements (+/-3C)
