I am a code weenie at heart so I may not actuslly DO anything with them. I might just write little samples or copy code projects I find on the Internet. I have used them for small robots, a controller

Re: Buddy's trolling motor
In a wet environment, especially where the wet may be (conductive) salt water, that seems entirely reasonable. Proprietary-protective/anti-tamper goo is usually hard epoxy. Reese
