Reflowduino - Wireless Reflow Controller Ecosystem

Hackaday just announced in this post that i'm among the 20 finalists from the Open Hardware Challenge! Congrats to all the other awesome projects out there!

Keep hacking!

Hey guys,

I just uploaded a new Instructable on how to build your own reflow oven using a DOIT ESP32 dev board and the Reflowduino32 backpack module. Check it out here!

Regards,

Tim

Wazzup everyone!

Today I successfully built and tested Reflowduino32, a cute little add-on board that plugs into the "DOIT" ESP32 dev board. I've uploaded the design files as well as a new Reflowduino32 demo sketch to get started right away using the ESP32's built-in Bluetooth capabilities.

If people like this a lot I'll probably be offering the boards for sale on my website or on Tindie!

Hey guys,

Pretty soon I'll be making an add-on "backpack" for a popular ESP32 development board that will be super easy to use with the Sidekick relay module to control practically any AC appliance via the ESP32's Bluetooth capabilities. As usual I'll provide full documentation and example code for that as well!

Stay tuned for the latest updates and follow me on Twitter! (I finally got on social media!)

Regards,

Tim

Hey guys, I'm really excited to announce that Reflowduino is now live on Indiegogo! Check out the campaign here and be sure to share!

Thanks for all the support!

Hey guys, as you know the Indiegogo campaign for Reflowduino is only 4 days away! As a quick update  I just received 12 of each PCB and have stocked up on parts as well. Looking forward to what's next!

Again, please share this project and spread the word!

Thanks,

Tim

Hey guys, I'm happy to announce that I will be launching an Indiegogo campaign for the Reflowduino and Sidekick relay module on December 1st! Stay tuned for early bird specials, cool perks, and more! (Learn more)

Hey guys!

Please check out the products page and email me at botletics 'at' gmail.com if you're interested because I'm trying to estimate a head count for Reflowduino orders!

Also stay tuned for an upcoming Indiegogo campaign sometime next month and be sure to share!

Thanks!

Some in this Hackaday post have voiced their concerns about voltage isolation on the Reflowduino Pro and said that they would feel better if there were more physical isolation between the relay output pads, such as a slot or cutout. Although the Reflowduino does meet the IPC-2221 spacing guidelines, I thought this might be a good idea!

I just updated the Reflowduino to version 2.1 by adding a cutout in between the two relay output pads. I have uploaded these latest EAGLE files on Github.

Thanks for everyone's input, and as always, feel free to comment and suggest!

The Solid-State Sidekick (previously "Toasty Relay Module") is now fully tested! Take a look at the updated documentation on the Reflowduino Github repo. The Sidekick can be ordered here (note: please email me if you want to order one since they're not officially in stock yet).

You can see the Sidekick setup in action in this video.
