Reading With Raspberry pi

It reading with raspberry is more difficult and require these following for the temperature , humidity and rain sensing

1. DTH11 Sensor
2. Rain Sensor (It is not used after first test) These are used for only to increase the accuracy

Raspberry Pi Python Dependencies

Adafruit_DHT
serial

also i have used interrupt to handle rain counting so this following code should be uploaded to Arduino or any other micro controller or SOC Boards like raspberry pi , i did not use the Raspberry pi because it does not have a software interrupt on the 2 B model

volatile int event_counter = 0;
void countEvent() { event_counter++; }
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
  attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), countEvent, FALLING);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(event_counter);
delay(1000);
}
