Hello all,
I'm new in SMD technology and i would like to share with you my issue.
I bought an oven toaster in order to convert it to a SMD Reflow Oven having in mind to use an arduino board with a K-type thermocouple as the PID controller.
As a first step i modified the oven adding an SSR to control the heating elements. I connected a K-type thermocouple to an MAX31855 in order to read the temperature and i added some extra gold thermal tape in the inside of the oven to increase the heat reflection. The code i used is the rocketscream reflow example modified according to my needs.
Configuration values of the code:
The solder paste i use is sn62pb36ag2
This is the thermal curve output of the oven and this is the result of the reflow As you can see the reflow result isn't as it was expected to be.
1) Is this a problem of the reflow curve?
2) How can i tune the PID in order to achieve the ideal curve?
3) Shouldn't this curve reflow the solder paste?
