I live in a very wet region, seems it's always raining and if it hasn't rained, at least the plants and grass have a heavy morning dew on them. I bought some MG Chemicals conformal coating and painted the boards on a couple of my drones being careful to avoid ports and buttons. I also painted the camera boards.
That being said, how much can I trust this waterproofing? The ground is very wet out this morning, and I don't have the confidence to have a whoop tumble into wet grass.
Is covering the board enough or can the motors be damaged by water? What about ports that don't have things plugged into them, usb port or other? Is a 20 second slap-job of painting on goo really enough that I can now reliably fly over snow?
Opinions, thoughts, and methods to improve waterproofing are all appreciated!
