Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Arduino Code

Anyway they should be about the same the amount is not critical but i set mine for 5 ml.

Tipping bucket rain gauge arduino code.

Arduino tipping bucket rain gauge. This sketch will create two devices on your vera controller. Introduction in this instructable we construct a rain gauge with arduino and calibrate it to report daily and hourly rainfall. Rainfall mm rain gauge collection area cm2 x volume of water cm3 or ml needed to tip the bucket x 10.

I have a tipping bucket rain gauge similar to that pictured that sends a pulse to esp8266 every time the bucket fills and seesaws past the reed switch. The statechangedetection example sketch in the arduino editor was adapted to register a bucket tip. This is the part of the code that controls it. I think raising the screw will increase the amount needed to tip the bucket.

Assembling the rain gauge. The other a sensor that. One will display your total precipitation for the last 24 48 72 96 and 120 hours. It came from a damaged personal we.

This is a tipping bucket rain gauge based on rain gauges that are used by professional meteorologists. In my gauge 100 ml of water slowly poured. My problem is that blynk only catches the pulse randomly even though i have a timer set to fire every 10 ms. Set interval to read rain gauge void rain int.

The rain collector i am using is a re purposed rain gauge of the tipping bucket type. The device works by funneling rain water onto a tipping bucket which resembles a teeter totter with each end having a bucket that hold approx 2 ml of rainwater when one side fills up the bucket tips and rainwater begins collecting in opposite bucket. The screw on the left actually affects the bucket on the right and vice versa. When rain is detected it will generate a interrupt that we handle in the sketch.

When rain is detected the input is pulled to ground before returning to 5v. This value will be needed in the arduino sketch. This sketch will create two devices on your vera controller. We use this increment the bucket count and the amount of rain that has fallen.
