Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beagle Board outdoors?

2016-04-18 Thread Graham Haddock 
The problem is, that if it is not perfectly airtight, then the next time
you open it, you find the little silica gel packets floating in a puddle of
water.  :-)

If it is not perfectly airtight, then every time it rains, or a cold front
passes, the box cools and it sucks in a little wet air (or rain).  If the
leak is not at the bottom of the box, then the condensation builds up as
water there.  It takes a year or so.

It is easier to drill a little 2 or 3 mm hole in the center of the bottom
of the box, than to make something perfectly airtight.  Particularly if you
have wires going into and out of the box.

Or if your sure the box is sealed and there is no chance of water
getting in use some silica jell in the little pouches that will absorb
all the moisture that is in the box.

We use boxes from Polycase for some of our projects.
They have a family of Nema boxes that should be suited, with a little work, 
to using with the BBB.

Otherwise the humidity inside the box when you closed it will condense out 
on the components when the temperature drops.

The 'weep hole' needs to be big enough to let humidity equalize between the 
inside and out side, small enough to not let insects get inside, and 
somewhere in the central bottom where rain will never hit the hole.
