Newark<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0The unit is waterproof, easy to work with and has lots of mounting options. \u00a0The top cover is smoke, and allows you to see what is inside (gotta show off all the cool electronics and flashing lights you know…), and has a flexible rubber-like strip that provides the water proofing features. \u00a0There are 4 mounting holes on the outside and 4 plastic locking screws that secure the top cover to the main unit.<\/p>\nThe unit has a unique way of getting it mounted which is quite intuitive. \u00a0There are 4 holes that allow you to mount the unit to a surface. \u00a0Once mounted, the top cover can be installed with the 4 special black locking screws. \u00a0They also ensured that the waterproofing strip is on the inside of the screws so it does not matter if water gets in the screw holes – it simply cannot get inside the enclosure.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Update: Fall 2014:<\/strong><\/p>\nI have had this enclosure in the elements for a few months now. \u00a0It has been through torrential downpours as well as some near 0 degree C temps. \u00a0In general I am satisfied with it’s performance. \u00a0However, I have noticed some condensation on the inside of the unit. \u00a0 In fairness to the product, I did drill holes in the side and mount a custom machined cable holder. \u00a0However, I sealed it with glue. \u00a0It is possible there are some tiny holes that may be allowing moisture in.<\/p>\n

Over the past 2 years, we have working on our back-yard landscaping project. \u00a0We added a patio, stones, a deck etc. \u00a0One of the remaining bits was to add LED’s to accent the rocks and other areas at night. \u00a0After completing my outdoor LED light controller and Andriod app, I found myself struggling to find a way to enclose all the components in something that would protect the controller and power supply from the … Continue reading →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[65,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arduino-electronics","category-electronics","has_no_thumb"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pK41j-RT","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3341\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
