<br>protecting the circuit board.<br><br>Before I get to my question, some background. See<br><a href="http://www.megasquirt.info/" target="_blank">http://www.megasquirt.info</a> for copious details; btw,<br>do NOT go to megasquirt.*COM* in the presence of
<br>anyone easily (or not so easily) offended. Anyway, the<br>MegaSquirt unit is an open source electronic fuel<br>injection controller that is quite purposefully<br>extremely generic. This requires lots of tinkering and<br>
experimenting, so I'm on board for it. See also<br><a href="http://www.msruns.com/" target="_blank">http://www.msruns.com/</a> for lots of inspiration and<br>real world problem solving from people who have made<br>it work.
<br><br>So, to get to my question.... the unit, as designed,<br>is intended to be in the passenger compartment of a<br>car, with wiring that traverses the firewall to<br>connect to the various sensors and actuators in the
<br>engine bay. On my bike (and in fact, most bikes) there<br>is no equivalent safe place for an exposed circuit<br>board.<br><br>The market has responded to this need with a nifty<br>prebuilt controller that is substantially smaller and
<br>in a sealed case, but that is $150 more than the<br>u-build-it kit and since the rest of it is going to<br>add up, too, I'd like to at least try it with the kit<br>first anyway. To that end, I ordered one today.<br>
<br>When I said earlier that there is no equivalent safe<br>place on my bike, that's not 100% true, but the place<br>where the box will fit is under the rear of the seat.<br>It is probably safe-ish from rain, but it's very dusty
<br>in there and a piece of paper (proof of insurance)<br>kept n there is all wrinkly as if it's been wet,<br>though probably from condensation rather than a<br>deluge.<br><br>So, I need to protect the electronics. Some people on
<br>the MegaSquirt forums have used conformal coating.<br>Does anyone here have experience and/or suggestions<br>for DIY conformal coatings?<br><br>My other option will be to enclose it in a sealed<br>container, which I'm kinda on board with anyway,
<br>coating or not. Unfortunately, a sealed box will<br>likely be larger than the 6x6x1 space I have under the<br>seat.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Sluggy!<br><br>---<br><br>"The idea that unicycling is intrinsically funny does not explain the findings." Professor Sam Shuster.
