Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Arduino Code

This is a tipping bucket rain gauge based on rain gauges that are used by professional meteorologists.

Tipping bucket rain gauge arduino code.

The rain collector i am using is a re purposed rain gauge of the tipping bucket type. Set interval to read rain gauge void rain int. This sketch will create two devices on your vera controller. As far as the arduino is concerned the rain sensor appears as a switch.

This is the part of the code that controls it. Arduino tipping bucket rain gauge. Conversion of bucket tip events to mm of rain is can be done in a spreadsheet or in code. One will display your total precipitation for the last 24 48 72 96 and 120 hours.

The other a sensor that. This value will be needed in the arduino sketch. The statechangedetection example sketch in the arduino editor was adapted to register a bucket tip. Assembling the rain gauge.

In my gauge 100 ml of water slowly poured. When rain is detected it will generate a interrupt that we handle in the sketch. It came from a damaged personal we. This sketch will create two devices on your vera controller.

The screw on the left actually affects the bucket on the right and vice versa. 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. Rainfall mm rain gauge collection area cm2 x volume of water cm3 or ml needed to tip the bucket x 10. Introduction in this instructable we construct a rain gauge with arduino and calibrate it to report daily and hourly rainfall.

I think raising the screw will increase the amount needed to tip the bucket. Anyway they should be about the same the amount is not critical but i set mine for 5 ml. We use this increment the bucket count and the amount of rain that has fallen. My problem is that blynk only catches the pulse randomly even though i have a timer set to fire every 10 ms.
