This library provides Arduino IDE and Raspberry Pi software drivers, as well as example code, for the SEN0575 rainfall sensor kit. With this library, users can obtain 24-hour rainfall information, the sensor's operating time, and the accumulated rainfall information during the sensor's operating time through software operations.
SKU:SEN0575
- Read rainfall sensor data
Two methods are provided for using this library:
- Open the Arduino IDE, go to Tools --> Manager Libraries in the status bar, search for "DFRobot_RainfallSensor" and install the library.
- First, download the library file and paste it into the \Arduino\libraries directory. Then, open the examples folder and run the demo in that folder. Note: This library needs to be used with DFRobot_RTU, so make sure to install DFRobot_RTU before using this library.
