Thread: Weather proof animatronic bucky

Can a animatronic bucky be made to be weather proof? Thanks

This may not be as hard as it sounds.

Because everything is 5/6 VDC then there is not a lot of danger if anything does get damp, you obviously need to take care of the mains power supply though.

The servo motors used are designed for use in RC models like aircraft, cars and boats and are generally pretty weather resistant.

The control board and power supply can be put in a weatherproof container, just make sure you use a sealing grommet where the wires enter and exit.

After this you just need to make sure that the connectors are made waterproof, this can be done with heat shrink and electrical tape.

That sounds easy enough, Thanks!
