Hack a Toaster Oven for Reflow Soldering using ATmega32 microcontroller

Hack a Toaster Oven for Reflow Soldering using ATmega32 microcontroller

As I get more serious into my electronics hobby, I need to work with more SMD components. Some component packages are very difficult or impossible to solder with a traditional soldering iron. To solve this problem, I decided to hack a toaster oven to become a reflow soldering oven. Basically, to perform reflow soldering, solder
