TE Connectivity’s new 10A TV-8 rated OJT power relays (2071507-1, 2071508-1, and 2071509-1) offer a compact and powerful design solution that can withstand up to a 117A inrush current in a 40% smaller size, compared to similarly rated relays.

Soldering surface mount components by hand can be done, but reflow soldering in an oven is much quicker and produces more consistent results. Building a microprocessor controlled reflow oven is well within the abilities and budget of many hobbyists.

In the last installment, we built the hardware to control an AC waveform with a TRIAC as the first step in a DIY solder reflow oven. This tutorial continues the project by showing you how to set up the low-level hardware to measure temperature, read the zero-cross detector, drive the TRIAC, and print to the serial terminal using a USART.
