Rain Gauge Hack: Custom Data Acquisition
August -2023


How It Works
I was assigned a project to obtain data from a rain gauge by any possible means. To achieve this, I completely disassembled 🛠the rain gauge and identified two points where I could measure voltage.
Each time a voltage was detected, it indicated that the rain gauge’s tipping bucket had tilted, signaling that it had filled with water and then emptied.
Once I successfully obtained the data, I integrated an Arduino to send the rain gauge readings to the API using a POST request 🌐.
