Here http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/200006/oven_art.htm is a link to a method from the Seattle Robotics Society which looks a lot like the one you referred to. The PICLIST www.piclist.com has numerous pages about toaster oven soldering - type Toaster oven in the PICLIST archives and you'll run into it soon enough. This topic comes up a lot. --Lawrence Lile Matt Redmond Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list 09/23/2003 01:23 PM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: Re: [EE:] Through hole vs. SMD I Googled for SMT techniques for hobbyists. Found a page - sorry I don't have a link - describing a technique for doing reflow soldering in (of all things!) a toaster oven. These guys had it down to a science. They specified the make/model of oven, type of solder paste and four different temperature settings and times that would do the job without frying your board. It was something like: preheat oven to 400 degrees, add board, set to broil for 20 seconds, reduce heat to 300 degrees for 30 seconds, then turn off heat and wait 30 seconds before removing the board. DON'T do this based on what I just said - go find the article if you're interested. Very cool stuff if it works. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
