Hi,
I'm currently installing a new intercom system onto my motorbike and I have got to the stage where I am building the push to talk button and bracket for the handle bar.
The button will be a push to make and will run back to the picaxe which will be hidden away under the seat. I will hopefully be making a bracket similar to the one in the picture I have attached.
My question is basically whether or not I need this button to be waterproof or not. I was planning on just buying a large push switch from maplin and using a normal heat shrink to seal it up.
Would it matter if any water got into the switch? If so, would anyone know a good way to solve this?
I was trying to find a really small project box that I use but I can't seem to see any small enough.
Cheers
