We hook up a Davis Instruments rain collector to an Arduino using Interrupts. GitHub: github.com/Cur... Facebook: / basementelectronics Twitter: / citrusireland Google+: plus.google.co...
Hi, this was really useful to me. I followed this and used pieces from your github and was able to get mine up and running (albeit converted to in/hr because I'm working slightly south of you in Philadelphia ). How do I alter the code to give me total rainfall in a rain event? I'd like to have it count the tips over a 24 hours period, but as a non-coding individual, I'm struggling to isolate the "thing" to count over time. I know I could calc it backwards from the rainrate, but I thought an actual count of tips would be more accurate.
Very nice, I bought my first Arduino follow and works great. Have one question ..is there a way to add code to also print it to SD card Module in same time? Thanks
The switch on the rain collector is just a open/closed switch. It doesn't matter which wire you connect to the interrupt and which you connect to ground. Think of it like a standard push button. When the switch closes, it completes the circuit and triggers the interrupt.
(This was a while back) If I remember right, it was made by Davis Instruments. It was provided to me for a project, so I'm not sure where it was bought. I'm sure a quick Google search will find that though.
Hello, Curtis Ireland. This tutorial was very good. But I cant't see very well the arduino codes of the rain gauge programation. Could you copy/paste the entire codes here? Thanks
Thank you very much for the code. But could I ask you another thing? This code only provides information about the rain intensity with RainRate, but i would like to have also data about the precipitation acumulated (in milimeters) when it rains. I've tried to do this part of arduino's code, but it didn't work... So could you teach me how to get the total acumulated precipitation with the arduino? I'm so sorry for bothering you, thanks for your atention and your precious time. Best regards, L. V

Can u make one how to calibrate reed switch based anemometers? Where they have a little magnet attached to the windvane and its spinning thx 😉
Probably not a good idea to beat on your rain collector, but the Arduino thingy is pretty cool.
Sorry i dont quite catch. Which rain collector cable in interrupt and which cable in ground?
Blue cable jack to interrupt orange to ground. But you never mention bule and orange

@@BasementElectronics thanks
Well explained. Thanks ✨✨✨
How it suppose to measure volume of rain?
How do you calibrate the rain collector? For example, 10ml, how many tips do you get?
The tipping cup is pre-calibrated to a certain volume per tip. Use that volume to figure out how many tips to reach 10ml
what's the brand of the rain collector and where can I buy it?

Sir I need this code.can you send me please?
