DAVEGA X: Gauging interest

Light to medium rain should be ok out of the box.

But if you want to hit puddles at speed or ride in down pours you need to do a couple extra steps,

make sure no fluid can leak up through the base plate or hole for the data cable.

And

Apply a thin layer of silicone between the base plate and Davega housing to form a gasket. Or cut a thin sheet of rubber to do the same.

These are the only locations water can get in.

It needs to be 100% waterproof for my usage so it’s designed that way. I also coated the PCB’s for extra piece of mind.

These pics are without the two sealing steps above although the PCBs had some coating. I think a few drops might have got in. Still recommend sealing the bottom though.
