Product Overview

The Rain Drops Detection Sensor Module is a reliable rain detection solution that senses both the presence and intensity of rainfall. Using a conductive sensing board, the module converts moisture contact into measurable signals suitable for a wide range of DIY and professional projects.

Why this rain drop sensor module?

  • Detects light to heavy rain with consistent response.
  • Offers both digital and analog outputs for flexible integration.
  • Adjustable sensitivity to suit local conditions and thresholds.

Key Features

  • High Sensitivity: Conductive traces on the sensing board change resistance when wet, enabling detection of small raindrops.
  • Digital Output (DO): Provides a clean on/off signal for microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi to detect rain presence.
  • Analog Output (AO): Outputs a proportional voltage to measure rain intensity for logging and analysis.
  • Adjustable Sensitivity: Built-in potentiometer lets you fine-tune the detection threshold for false-positive reduction.
  • Power Efficient: Operates from a standard 5V DC supply for easy compatibility.
  • Wide Operating Range: Functional from -20°C to 70°C for outdoor or sheltered environments.
  • Compact Design: Small footprint for mounting on weather stations, rooftops, or mobile platforms.

Technical Specifications

  • Sensor Type: Conductive rain detection
  • Outputs: Digital (DO) and Analog (AO)
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: Yes (potentiometer)
  • Power Supply: 5V DC
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to 70°C
  • Dimensions: Compact module for easy installation (check product listing for exact measurements)

Applications

  • Weather stations and environmental monitoring
  • Automated irrigation systems and smart gardening
  • Outdoor equipment protection and cover automation
  • Research projects and educational electronics kits

Integration and Wiring

Connecting the rain drop sensor module is straightforward. Typical wiring to a microcontroller:

  • VCC -> 5V
  • GND -> Ground
  • DO -> Digital input pin (for rain/no-rain detection)
  • AO -> Analog input pin (for measuring rain intensity)

When using with Arduino, read DO as a digitalRead for threshold events and read AO with analogRead to obtain a value proportional to moisture level.

Installation and Sensitivity Adjustment

  1. Mount the sensor in a location exposed to rain but sheltered from direct debris and splashing if possible.
  2. Power the module with 5V and monitor the DO and AO signals in your controller serial monitor.
  3. Turn the onboard potentiometer slowly until the DO output toggles at your desired rain threshold. Use AO readings to refine detection of light, moderate, or heavy rain.

Compatibility and Tips

  • Designed for easy integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi (with ADC), ESP8266, ESP32, and other microcontroller platforms.
  • For long-term outdoor use, consider a protective, water-permeable coating or a small shelter that allows drops but reduces debris buildup.
  • Calibrate sensitivity after installation to account for wind, splash, or environmental contaminants.

Why Choose This Rain Drop Sensor Module

This rain drop sensor module combines simple digital detection with analog intensity measurement and adjustable sensitivity to give you a versatile, low-cost solution for rain monitoring and automation. Its compact form factor and 5V compatibility make it ideal for hobbyists, researchers, and integrators building weather-aware systems.
