Rain Sensor

The Rain Sensor Module is designed to detect the presence of rain by measuring the moisture level on its sensing surface. It is commonly used in automated systems for weather monitoring, irrigation control, and other applications where detecting rainfall or moisture is essential. The module provides an analog or digital output that indicates the presence or absence of rain.

Key Features:

• Detects the presence of rain or moisture
• Provides both analog and digital output options
• Simple to interface with microcontrollers
• Includes adjustable sensitivity and threshold settings
• Compact design for easy integration into various systems

Technical Specifications:

• Sensor Type: Capacitive or resistive moisture sensor
• Output Type: Analog voltage or digital signal
• Supply Voltage: 5V DC
• Current Consumption: 10mA (typical)
• Response Time: Varies by design, typically seconds
• Sensitivity: Adjustable via potentiometer
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
• Dimensions: Varies by module design, typically around 40mm x 30mm
• Mounting Type: Typically through-hole or surface mount

Applications:

• Weather Monitoring: Detects rain for weather observation and forecasting.
• Automated Irrigation: Controls irrigation systems based on rainfall detection.
• Home Automation: Integrates with home automation systems to manage weather-dependent tasks.
• Vehicle Systems: Used in automotive systems to detect rain for windshield wipers.
• DIY Projects: Ideal for hobbyist projects involving weather sensing.
