This is the first part of a four-part post detailing the design, manufacture, and programming of a reflow oven based on the Panasonic NT-GT1, 9-liter, 1200W toaster oven:1 (Oven hardware) 2 (Controller hardware)3 (Manufacturing)4 (Controller software) start-summary-here After reflowing for some time with hot air and saucepans, I’ve decided it’s time to build a dedicated reflow oven. There are tons of DIY reflow oven projects out there, but I decided to design and build my own (see NIH syndrome) for the fun of it.

This is the second part of a four-part post detailing the design, manufacture, and programming of a reflow oven based on the Panasonic NT-GT1, 9-liter, 1200W toaster oven:1 (Oven hardware)2 (Controller hardware) 3 (Manufacturing)4 (Controller software) start-summary-here In part 1 we discussed the selection and modification of the oven itself. It’s now time to work on the external controller.
