Toaster reflow oven (work in progress)

Something I have been meaning to do for a long time is built a reflow oven out of a toaster oven. Recenlty I started with this project and it is still ongoing. You can follow the progress on these pages.

Progress

Currently I have placed the temperature probe inside the oven and built a solid state relay box to switch the oven on and off automatically. Next step is building the controller.

1. Temperature probe
2. Solid state relay box
