If the box is 100% tight yes
I usually put the electrodes on a vertical surface and 5mm away from the bottom, so a single drop does not immediately alert

Hello Ludwig,
I have 3 questions:
1- I have a short circuit (sparks + smoke) at the level of the 5v on the E1 port of the RX when I connect the vesc (sequre 14200) to the barrels that I soldered.
The welds seem ok, no contacts between the points (verification with a multimeter).
The connection is ok on port E0 with the same type of welding.
Does it come from the PCB or from me?
2- I can’t manage to modify the values in my TX and my RX with the “Config tool”, I followed the video tutorial scrupulously.
The values in red of the string 2 do not copy into the string 1 at the end of the procedure: the “Export Base 64 from column2” button seems to not work.
Do you have an idea?
3- The sequre 14200 has one ppm cable and 1 RPM and 1 Telemetry cables: how to connect these 2 cables to the UART 1.0 of the RX?
Thank you in advance.
Please send more information how it is connected, schematic and images
That’s not how the tool works, only what is in column 1 will be exported, column 2 is only to compare
Telemetry is currently only supported for VESC controllers, ESCs cannot be read out
1- some photos.
I don’t understand the short circuit when there is no contact between the gnd (-) and the 5v (+).
I will contact Open Foil to recommend an RX but I would like to understand the problem, I don’t know very well welding on PCBs, I may have overheated the strip.
2-I don’t understand, in your video #009 (cf copy screen), the modified values to be copied are in column 2 (example rf_power: 20), in column 1 rf_power is at 0.
In fact, all the modified values are exported to column 2 and reset to 0 in column 1, so re-exporting column 1 cancels the operation.
That’s not the goal so I’m wrong somewhere.
3- ok, I thought the sequre was a vesc.
Not sure what or how your short circuit happened to be honest
You can try to repair, connect the 3-pin header again, but bridge the 5V pin to the one above (B1)
Connect GND and Sig like normal
Make sure the ESC wire only gives out 5V (make sure there is no problem with the ESC)
Where did the spark or smoke come from? Did you see a specific part on the PCB?
1-The sparks and the smoke come out of the hole 5v
I tested with a 3-pin header on B1, there are sparks at the 5v hole of E1 …
2- solved.
I put the values back in string 1 before applying “export base64 from column 2”
The new values are taken into account in “serial terminal”
