EZ Make Oven

“Soldering through hole components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) is a very useful skill to have and needed for many DIY projects. However, there are some components that do not have through hole versions and are only available as surface …

Tiny Thermocouple Thermometer

“This project describes a thermocouple thermometer, capable of measuring temperatures up to +1350°C, using just an ATtiny85 and an OLED display. It uses the ATtiny85’s analogue-to-digital converter with a x20 gain option to measure the thermocouple voltage, and …

DIY DAQ: Make an Arduino Data Acquisition System

“This project was made as part of my senior project at my university. The idea behind the device was to make a data logger that can be carried around a lab without the need to connect to a computer. In …

Halogen floodlight SMT reflow

“This project was waiting on a box fot two years, until I had to solder 100 PCBs. After some research on SMD/SMT reflow oven hacking, I was confident to build my own reflow device with an halogen floodlight. First …

PID Temperature Controlled Oven

“With this instructable, we will take a cheap toaster oven and turn it into an accurate, temperature controlled tempering oven that will be able to achieve a stable and accurate temperature controlled by a microprocessor. We will combine some common …

110v Temperature Controlled Soldering Station Build No. 2

“This post is the second example of how to make a 110 volt temperature controlled soldering station. Please refer to the previous post for information on materials used, their costs and where they can be obtained. The steps for modifying …

Data Logging Temperature Probe (-200 °C to +1300 °C)

“I needed to take temperature vs. time measurements for a piece of research equipment in order to determine how much time in advance someone should start prepping before they actually intend to use the equipment. In this case, prepping involves …
