It also has full PWM (pulse width modulation) control of the heaters to give you a more accurate temperature profile which is very important in reflow soldering. It offers a decent GUI and a self-calibration function that I felt was important to get decent results. Looking at various options I decided on the Whizoo Controleo2 Reflow Controller. Some controllers just allow the oven to plug in (so you don’t need to take the oven apart) while others integrate completely inside the oven (more work but a much better product in the end). A large number of them are Arduino based. They range from one-off designs to DIY boards to full kits. Doing a web search, you will find many options for toaster oven reflow controllers. I decided to put together a toaster oven and wanted something that could handle large boards and possibly do small production runs. This essentially mimics a commercial reflow oven. Toaster Oven – This seems the most promising for the hobbyist and while you can just wing it with the manual controls there are also a range of control options for automation and temperature control.
