DIY Home Made BGA rework Station
« on: January 16, 2020, 06:57:52 pm »
Hello all, I'm looking to build my own BGA rework station like this fellow did here Cost him
only around 150.00 USD
I'm trying to improve my electronics skills and would like to have a rework station that
doesn't cost a fortune. I like this guys setup, I've watched him reball several chips and it
seems to do a good job. Best part is he's posted all the parts he's used to build it! As well
as a diagram to put it together. (check the info on the video)
Here comes the BUT, the techFX Reflow Controller is long gone. I can find all the other
parts no problem.
Can someone reccommend a replacement for the TechFX reflow controller that will
function in this setup?
Would this work? https://www.rocketscream.com/blog/product/tiny-reflow-controller-v2/

v2/
I kind of have the same problem. I also found this guy setup and the parts list and hit the
same issue - the people that sold that reflow controller are no longer doing it.
Anyway, there are some question marks about this guy's setup. I'm not going to enter into
details now and here, but for sure I'm going to ask for some opinions at some point.
Doing my own research, trying to find a proper replacement for the, no longer available,
reflow controller, i found these products:
- https://github.com/0xPIT/reflowOvenController/blob/master/README.md - open
source, was sold on Tinder but no longer, I couldn't reach Karl Pitrich, the designer. He
gives enough information about the product so it's not hard to build it, but he was not
happy about the LCD response time and a few other things and I'm not overly eager to
dig into code to fix something that someone else, with clearly more knowledge than me in
this area, didn't do it.
- http://ospid.com/blog/ - also open source, schematics and code available. However, at
one of the distributors the product says "retired", the other one is redirected to some
electronics repairing shop, I didn't try to contact them. I've seen a video or two on Youtube
about it, it didn't convince me much. Maybe because it was only about the product and
not about a final product - a reflow oven or something like this.
- https://www.rocketscream.com/blog/product/tiny-reflow-controller-v2/ - $29.90. They
provide the schematic and code.
- EUR 50 inside European Union, $57 for
- http://multitc.is-best.net/index.htm
international. I'm still reading the stuff on the site as I'm trying to understand if the
controller would do the job for a BGA rework station. The owner/designer replied vary fast
but, unfortunately, I don't see any reviews on the internet about his product
- https://www.whizoo.com/ - Controleo3 $109 USA, $121 international for the basic kit.
From all, the most appealing is the last one, Controleo3. I was impressed by the touch
screen response (check Youtube) and all the reviews from people that used it for reflow
ovens are very good. Now, I don't want a reflow oven, I want a BGA rework station. This
may or may not complicate the things - I simply don't know yet, I'm still doing my
homework.
Well, this is it, you have something to look into now ... good luck
B

I just found another possibility, have a look at this one? https://store.arduino.cc/usa/mega-
2560-r3
Here's the build Guide I found on it. https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Rework-
Station/
The controller is what I'm most interested in.
Let me know if anything peaks your interest with that one. I'll be researching the others
you linked.
Also let me know if you do find a good setup or mainly a controller your happy with.

I welcome everyone who wants to build an infrared station to work with BGA! I've looked
at a lot of projects over the past few years.
I invite all of you to get acquainted with a very attractive project! I sincerely hope that a
foreign language will not become a big barrier for enthusiasts!

I am truly happy because over the past 10 days, several people have joined the topic I
have described here. I would be grateful to everyone who supports the development of
these projects (from the forum on the site "Amperka.ru") here on the forum
EEVblog Electronics Community Forum !
(Я искренне радуюсь, потому что за прошедшие 10 дней несколько человек

andy3055 thank you for the link, but I have long known that project. That project does not
have any advantages in comparison with the project on the forum Amperka.ru. These are
completely different projects, and they are designed for different purposes. Topic on the
forum Amperka.ru for more than three years, we have been using components powered
by +5 volts and with TTL signal levels. We are developing both versions with character
displays and versions with TFT color LCD 3.2-3.95" 480x320. We have two temperature
measurement channels. Our PID library has been converted from fractions to integers,
which has a beneficial effect on the speed of calculations, because
AtMega168p/328p/2560 do not have a floating-point block.
(andy3055 спасибр вам за ссылку, но мне давно известен
тот проект. Тот проект не
имеет никаких преимуществ, в сравнении с проектом на форуме Amperka.ru. Это
совсем разные проекты, и они предназначены для разных целей. Теме на форуме
Amperka.ru уже больше трёх лет, мы используем комплектующие с питанием +5
вольт и с уровнями сигналов TTL. Мы развиваем и версии с символьными
дисплеями, и версии с TFT color LCD 3.2-3.95" 480x320. У нас два канала измерения
температуры. У нас библиотека PID переведена с дробных на целые числа, что
благотворно сказалось на скорости вычислений, потому что AtMega168p/328p/2560
не имеют блока для работы с плавающей запятой.)
You can view the code for one of the versions in the attached file.
You can also watch a video about a different version of the controller, which is also
discussed in the topic I told you about: https://www.youtube.com/user/watashisolify/videos

This version is the most compact, specially optimized for the use of inexpensive
components: an arduino Board on AtMega168p / 328p (5v / 16MHz), LCD1602 without
i2c, one MAX6675 module, a homemade (or purchased)analog keyboard with 5 buttons,
a homemade (or purchased) 3-4-channel relay Board on 12V, 2 fans on 12V.
Here there is only one channel of the upper heater, and the preheater of the mainboards
(lower heater) can be used any available, whether it is manual or automatic.
Despite the presence of only the upper heater control channel, the controller has a fairly
wide range of functions, and also allows you to plot diagramm the temperature/time in the
program on the PC monitor.
When soldering starts, the cooling fan of the triac and controller turns on and the red
flashing led turns on.
After soldering is complete, you can turn on and off the external fan to cool the Board you
have soldered. (Эта версия самая компактная, специально оптимизируется под
использование недорогих комплектующих: плата arduino на AtMega168p / 328p(5v /
16MHz), LCD1602 без i2c, один модуль MAX6675, самодельная (или покупная)
аналоговая клавиатура на 5 кнопок, самодельная (или покупная)3-4х-канальная
плата реле на 12в, 2 вентилятора на 12в.
Здесь имеется только один канал верхнего
нагревателя, а преднагреватель плат
(нижний нагреватель) можно использовать любой, имеющийся в наличии, не важно,
с ручным он, или с автоматическим управлением.
Несмотря на наличие только канала управления верхним нагревателем,
контроллер имеет достаточно широкий набор функций, а также позволяет строить
график температура/время в программе на мониторе ПК.
При старте пайки включается вентилятор охлаждения симисторов и контроллера и
красный мигающий светодиод.
После завершения пайки можно
включать и отключать внешний вентилятор для
охлаждения платы, которую вы паяли.)
Detailed information is pinned at the beginning of the code. (Подробная информация
закреплена в начале кода.)

I suggest that everyone read the video materials that were posted on youtube.com those
people who built infrared soldering stations based on controllers from the topic on the
site's forum Amperka.ru (Я предлагаю всем ознакомиться с видеоматериалами,
которые разместили на youtube.com те люди, которые построили инфракрасные
паяльные станции на основе контроллеров из темы на форуме сайта Amperka.ru)
I invite all comers to the topic, I will be happy to have a constructive discussion on this
resource. I want as many interested people as possible to help develop these projects.
Please do not remain indifferent, take part in the development! (Я приглашаю всех
желающих в тему, я буду рад конструктивному обсуждению и на этом ресурсе. Я
хочу, чтобы как можно больше заинтересованных людей помогали развивать эти
проекты. Пожалуйста, не оставайтесь равнодушными, примите участие в
разработках!)
