interfacing rain water flow sensor with aurdino

Projects General Guidance

I'm going to work with the rain water flow sensor with aurdino interfacing for my college project. Please suggest some official docs for step by step implementation . Thanks !

Hey!,

I'm not going to be able to help you find docs, but I can help you with wiring. So connect the pin marked (+) to the 5V pin on the arduino, the pin marked (-) to the GND pin (ground) on the arduino, and the pin marked (S) to any one of the analog pins on the arduino that start with A, example A0.

By the brief documentation on the website, it seems like the signal output, (pin S) will output high when no rain is reported. What I would do is go to the Arduino IDE:

File>Examples>Basics>AnalogReadSerial. Run this code and attach the sensor S pin the A0. Then you can start seeing the values from the sensor.

Hope this helps!

Dunno what you're planning to do but the sensor you linked to is almost certainly not suitable.

Start by selecting a real sensor, not a dirt cheap piece of PCB that's barely good enough for a short demo.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

I'm surprised you haven't googled..

While I sympathise with your assessment, and would never buy the thing myself, how practical must it actually be for a "college project"? :roll_eyes:
