The Talisman V2 is shifting the choice of the encapsulation or packaging of the internal electronics to other artistic people. it is suggested that one potential possible packaging could be the use of the end user mouldable Sugru.
A sample 3 pack of safe, family friendly Sugru has been ordered. The white color was choosen to allow the light from the colored LEDs on the electronics to shine through the hardened rubbery Sugru.
To ensure the waterproof seal and to avoid any shear stress ripping the electronics off the circuit board, a thin layer of clear soft rubbery “conformal coating” will be sprayed over the completed circuit board.
Coating the electronics in a paper thin layer of conformal coating will allow the encapsulated unit to receive thermal heating and cooling expansion and contraction movement, along with physical knock stress. The layer of rubbery conformal coating allows the components to squidge against the rubber layer.
Conformal coating is an expensive specialists coating, available in small quantities by 3M (via RS Components) as an aerosol spray dispenser can.
