'twas brutal weather for me this past blinky season. Inches of rain one weekend, a foot of snow the next, high winds for days, and just last weekend -20F temps...
I was happy with the performance of my connectors (pigtails) with corrosion protection. Things look good. It will be interesting to see how things held up once I take the show down. That said, the issue I struggled with this past season the most was water/moisture infiltration of the SSC. My holes and wire were tight and I don’t think the design is flawed per se, it just was the weather was that bad. I am contemplating using the corrosion spray on SSC boards in the future but really apprehensive about it. Year before I never had an issue, but this year dealt with this on 8-10 SSCs, some of the same a few times. I have adapted most SSC to the vertical 2 holes in bottom where I can but some elements won't allow anything but horizontal mount and it's no surprise these were the ones with issues. Just wondered if anyone had similar issues or any other thoughts.
One interesting observation I noted fixing things. If I had the issue with a V3 SSC it always resulted in a fried pic but to my surprise the V4 could be re-programmed. In addition, I would always suspect the hub fuse would be blown with this problem but most often it was not.
