Water/Weather Proof LCD - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

gramo · 23rd December 2006, 12:53 AM

Hi, I'm looking for a water/weather proof LCD for a motorbike project. I've looked at many project boxes that are weatherproof, but they are very bulky in comparison to a LCD screen.

Does anyone know about a great fitting project box for LCD screens like this one?

Or a standalone LCD screen that is weatherproof on it's own?

How about enclosing in a transparent watertight case?

Thanks Hero999, can you recommend a company/link that makes one to fit a standard LCD screen nicely? Its to mount somewhere on the handlebars of my motorbike

I suppose you could try RS Components, I know they sell IP rated enclosures but I don't know if there are any suitable for mounting on the handlebars of a motorbike.

There are also other things to consider, primarilly vibration, are you sure your LCD won't be shaken to pieces?
