The Experimenting with Waterproof Connectors Design Challenge, sponsored by Amphenol, and featuring a custom connector KIT and a waterproof enclosure provided By Hammond Manufacturing has officially concluded. We had 7 participants, including the Gra...
Introduction
This is the last blog of this series of Experimenting with Waterproof Connector - Weather station.
I decided to build a weather station because exposing this device to different weathers would put the connectors and enclosure on stress.

Panda Enclosure
Introduction
This challenge caught my interest because I live in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, USA) and we get lots of rain during the year, so outdoor projects need to be weather-resistant. In general IP65 is sufficient for my...
Intro
This blog summarizes the sub-surface camera project that also tests Amphenol waterproof connectors and a watertight Hammond enclosure. The Hammond enclosure features a clear lid, which allows a non-waterproof camera to be kept dry while lo...
Now is time to have some fun.
For this test I closed again the enclosure with the Lattepanda inside with a humidity sensor and a battery.
I used a profesional splasher machine, aka water flosser.

For this weather station I added the following sensors.
Humidity & Temperature (Inside the enclosure and external)
I'm using the HS3001 from Renesas. I put one inside the enclosure and other one outside the enclosure.
UV Sensor

Hello everyone!
In this blog I will present what I did more for this challenge. If in the previous blog I added some cables to two plugs, now it's time to fix the LattePanda board in the enclosure.
First of all, I need a motherboard on which to m...

Now that I have completed the project and experimenting part of this challenge, I wanted to do a quick review of the components we were experimenting with. This is not an examination of the datasheet, it is just my impressions of what it is lik...
Intro
This blog highlights the main objective of this project, which is to experiment with the waterproof characteristics of Amphenol connectors and Hammond Manufacturing enclosures.
A camera is built into the box which also features a suite of Amphe...
For the initial test, I did put all the connector in the enclosure.
This test is to check how good is the waterproofness on the Hammond enclosure.
I wasn't able to get the threaded inserts for the RJ45 hood, so I decided to use J-B Wel...
Hello everyone!
Another blog about waterproof connectors, and another tough test I might say. Until now, I have tried to see what results I get with these connectors in heavy conditions, high humidity, let's say, but I rather accelerated this process...
Intro
In this episode of the waterproof connectors experimenting challenge I am building the computer and display at the top of the pole. The chassis allows the system to be handled without touching the circuit card.
I had to design a chassis for the...

Hello everyone!This is another blog of mine for the Experimenting with Waterproof Connectors challenge.
In the introduction, I would like to say why I thought of adding a soil moisture sensor to the project. Plants need an environment with adequate h...
Intro
This update shows how the pole for the waterproof camera works and how it was built. It required 3D printing several parts and drilling some old carbon composite hockey sticks to be used as the pole.

This episode is focused on building and testing the waterproof webcam, although the system will not be ready for water tests yet.
I have also been doing a lot of work to figure out what I can use the LattePanda for. I have tried a lot of things...
Hello everyone!
In this blog I would like to talk more about the DHT22 module, make a comparison with the DHT11, and present the way I used the sensor with my board.
I gathered a lot of information by consulting google.
DHTxx is a sensor that measu...
Intro
There is a saying here that translates into something like "better is an enemy of the good" - so, as time is running out, I am finishing with implementing changes and improvements and starting final test.
As previous test results show...
