Hi Tony, this project isn’t complete yet as far as I know. For waterproofing, a lot of our customers are using something like an Otter Box or Pelican case and drilling holes in them to accommodate the wires. Then seal those holes up with epoxy or silicone. Throw in some silica bags (search online) and that will absorb the moisture. Yes, temperature changes can be a problem especially in sub-freezing conditions. Lithium Polymer batteries will have a shorter lifespan when charged below 32F / 0C. Keep us up to date on your project, this is something we would like to see built and published for others to see and learn from.

I had started working on a design with a stock Arduino, but it seems someone has already done the job with a better choice (Pro-Mini)! I couldn’t find a mention of this board on angryelectron.com. Can you specify a more specific URL, or tell us where in their website to look? Besides the design, I’d like to see how they handled outside temperature swings and waterproofing challenges.

Thanks,
–Tony
