Rain Sensor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The rain sensor is a resistive dipole that shows less resistance when wet and more resistance when dry. When there is no rain drop on board, it increases the Resistance so we gets high voltage according to V=IR.When rain drop is present, it reduces the resistance because water is a conductor of electricity and presence of water connects nickel lines in parallel so reduces resistance and reduces voltage drop across it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, for powering up the ARIES v3 board via the USB port of a Laptop\/Desktop\/PC and burning the code into the ARIES v3 board, we have to use a micro USB type C to USB type A cable. The cable should be connected to UART-0 port of the ARIES v3 board, and the Laptop\/Desktop\/PC should be preinstalled with Arduino IDE and VEGA ARIES boards of latest version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Procedure
<\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere we are using Arduino IDE 1.8.19 in Ubuntu OS for testing the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open Arduino IDE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to Tools -> Board -> VEGA Processor ARIES Boards -> Select ARIES v3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to Tools -> Programmer -> Select VEGA XMODEM<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connect the ARIES v3 board to PC<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to Tools -> Port -> Select the appropriate port<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve completed the code, upload it to your ARIES v3.0 board using the Arduino IDE. Wait until the program is uploaded. After completing the uploading the program will start to execute. Once the code is uploaded you can try putting some water drops on the rain sensor surface and observe the changes happening to the values in serial monitor. Care should be taken to drop water only on the rain sensor surface otherwise it will damage the circuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This demo will detect the presence of Rain based on the water that falls on the sensor. If there is no Rain then you can see “No Rain” on the serial monitor. If the water content falling on the sensor is beyond the threshold then it will print as “Moderate Rain” or “Heavy Rain” on the serial monitor.You can adjust the threshold value for rain detection, in the program, based on your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
