Gravity: Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor

SKU: SEN0575

Gravity: Tipping Bucket Rainfall Sensor uses tipping bucket principle to provide rainfall values (mm) and system operating time. It has no internal electronics, a hollow bottom for auto rainwater drainage (stable/sensitive). Supports I2C/UART outputs, compatible with micro:bit, Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi (Gravity interface). Easy to build rain monitors with ready libraries, ideal for weather/environmental stations, smart farms.
