Solder Reflux Hotplate Project

This repository contains the source code and design files for a Solder Reflux Hotplate, an essential tool for soldering SMD components. The project is built around the ATmega4809 microcontroller and includes a custom PCB design. It is programmed using PlatformIO, an advanced ecosystem for IoT development.

Features

  • Precise temperature control for soldering SMD components. with support of up to 6 thermistors.
  • Custom PCB design tailored for efficient heat distribution.
  • User-friendly interface for easy operation.
  • usb programming
  • wifi via esp8266-12f module (with wifi version).
  • PlatformIO integration for streamlined development.
  • Based on Reflow Hotplate by DerSpatz with some improvements

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • PlatformIO Core or PlatformIO IDE.
  • ATmega4809 microcontroller.
  • Basic soldering tools and electronic assembly skills.
  • Access to a PCB manufacturing service.

Hardware Setup

  1. PCB Fabrication: Fabricate the PCB using the provided design files.
  2. Component Assembly: Solder the components onto the PCB as per the schematic.
  3. Power Supply Connection: Connect a suitable power supply.

Preparing the ATmega4809

Before programming the ATmega4809, it needs to be flashed with a default bootloader.

  1. Bootloader Flashing:

    • U can use a spare arduino for the initial updi bootloader flash

  2. MicroUSB Programming:

    • After flashing the bootloader, the ATmega4809 can be programmed via the microUSB connection.

Software Installation

  1. Clone the Repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/solder-reflux-hotplate.git
cd solder-reflux-hotplate
  2. Import in vscode

Usage

Power On: Connect the hotplate to the power source. Set Temperature: Use the interface to set the desired temperature. Start Soldering: Place your PCB and components on the hotplate.

Customization

Feel free to modify the firmware and PCB design to suit your specific needs.
