picoReflow

Turns a Raspberry Pi into a cheap, universal & web-enabled Reflow Oven Controller. Of course, since it is basically just a robot sensing temperature and controlling environmental agitators (heating/cooling) you can use it as inspiration / basis when you're in need of a PID based temperature controller for your project. Don't forget to share and drop a link, when you do :)

Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi (Rev 2B, Zero W)
  • MAX 31855/6675 Cold-Junction K-Type Thermocouple
  • GPIO driven Solid-State-Relays/MOSFETs

Installation

Dependencies

We've tried to keep external dependencies to a minimum to make it easily deployable on any flavor of open-source operating system. If you deploy it successfully on any other OS, please update this:

Currently tested versions

  • greenlet-0.4.2
  • bottle-0.12.4
  • gevent-1.0
  • gevent-websocket-0.9.3

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dev libevent-dev
$ sudo pip3 install ez-setup
$ sudo pip3 install greenlet bottle gevent gevent-websocket

Raspbian

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dev libevent-dev
$ sudo pip3 install ez-setup
$ sudo apt-get install python-gevent python-gevent-websocket
$ sudo pip3 install greenlet bottle

Gentoo

$ emerge -av dev-libs/libevent dev-python/pip
$ pip install ez-setup
$ pip install greenlet bottle gevent gevent-websocket

Raspberry PI deployment

If you want to deploy the code on a PI for production:

$ pip3 install RPi.GPIO

This only applies to non-Raspbian installations, since Raspbian ships RPi.GPIO with the default installation.

If you also want to use the in-kernel SPI drivers with a MAX31855 sensor:

$ sudo pip3 install Adafruit-MAX31855

Clone repo

$ git clone https://github.com/apollo-ng/picoReflow.git
$ cd picoReflow

Configuration

All parameters are defined in config.py, just copy the example and review/change to your mind's content.

$ cp config.py.EXAMPLE config.py

Usage

Server Startup

$ python3 picoreflowd.py

Autostart Server onBoot

If you want the server to autostart on boot, run the following commands

sudo cp /home/pi/picoReflow/lib/init/reflow /etc/init.d/
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/reflow
sudo update-rc.d reflow defaults

Client Access

Open Browser and goto http://127.0.0.1:8081 (for local development) or the IP of your PI and the port defined in config.py (default 8081).
