Rain Guage

petewill

@Theekshana There is a magnet on the tipping bucket and a reed switch that detects the magnet each time it passes by. So each time the bucket tips it will trigger to the Arduino and it can count from there.

Has anyone converted this sketch to Mysensors 2.0 already? I've tried but received following error when compiling:

/*
 Arduino Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

 April 26, 2015

 Version 1.4.1 alpha

 Arduino Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

 Utilizing a tipping bucket sensor, your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org
 gateway you can measure and sense local rain.  This sketch will create two devices on your
 Vera controller.  One will display your total precipitation for the last 5 days.  The other, 
 a sensor that changes state if there is recent rain (up to last 120 hours)  above a threshold.  
 Both these settings are user definable.

 There is a build overview video here: https://youtu.be/1eMfKQaLROo

 This sketch features the following:

 * Allows you to set the rain threshold in mm
 * Allows you to determine the tripped indicator window up to 120 hours.
 * Displays the last 5 days of rain in Variable1 through Variable5
   of the Rain Sensor device
 * Configuration changes to Sensor device updated every hour
 * Should run on any Arduino
 * Will retain Tripped/Not Tripped status and data in a power interruption, saving small amount
   of data to EEPROM (Circular Buffer to maximize life of EEPROM)
 * LED status indicator
 * Optional Temp/Humidity (DHT-22 or DHT-11) and Light LUX (BH1750) sensors. To use, uncomment
   #define DHT_ON  and/or #define LUX_ON
 * Optionally send total accumulation of each day's rainfall or send only individual days rainfall totals.
   Comment out #define USE_DAILY to display individual daily rainfall.

@niccodemi syntax for time functions is:

requestTime();						// Request latest time from controller

// This is called when a new time value was received
void receiveTime(unsigned long controllerTime) {
}

@AWI thank you. Sketch compiles now but after uploading it still doesn't work - serial monitor is blank (debug on).

 Arduino Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

 April 26, 2015

 Version 1.4.1 alpha

 Arduino Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

 Utilizing a tipping bucket sensor, your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org
 gateway you can measure and sense local rain.  This sketch will create two devices on your
 Vera controller.  One will display your total precipitation for the last 5 days.  The other, 
 a sensor that changes state if there is recent rain (up to last 120 hours)  above a threshold.  
 Both these settings are user definable.

 There is a build overview video here: https://youtu.be/1eMfKQaLROo

 This sketch features the following:

 * Allows you to set the rain threshold in mm
 * Allows you to determine the tripped indicator window up to 120 hours.
 * Displays the last 5 days of rain in Variable1 through Variable5
   of the Rain Sensor device
 * Configuration changes to Sensor device updated every hour
 * Should run on any Arduino
 * Will retain Tripped/Not Tripped status and data in a power interruption, saving small amount
   of data to EEPROM (Circular Buffer to maximize life of EEPROM)
 * LED status indicator
 * Optional Temp/Humidity (DHT-22 or DHT-11) and Light LUX (BH1750) sensors. To use, uncomment
   #define DHT_ON  and/or #define LUX_ON
 * Optionally send total accumulation of each day's rainfall or send only individual days rainfall totals.
   Comment out #define USE_DAILY to display individual daily rainfall.

It compiles fine with Arduino IDE 1.6.5, Mysensors 2.0.0 and libraries (Time, BH1750).

Yes that's the one.

Using IDE 1.6.5 i get this:

@mrc-core Remove folder "Time" from your libraries folder, then download the "MySensorsArduinoExamples" zip from this link and extract Time library to your libraries folder. Restart Arduino IDE and try again.

Hi All,
Can you run this of 2 x AA batteries, does it go into sleep? It seems to fade the LED al the time, so I guess it will drain the batteries quick quickly? Does anyone have experience in powering this?
Regards

petewill

@esawyja No, currently this example is written to be powered by external power so it wouldn't work well with batteries.

Hi friends,

here is my replica of Rain Guage MySensors project
photos:
https://goo.gl/photos/4kA7T4d8SsDBRrrS7

The sketch is adopted for 'Adafruit Unified Sensor by Adafruit' + 'DHT sensor library' just uncomment both DHT_ON and DHT_ADAFRUIT and Yes, I'm using rfm69hw radio with encryption enabled ;-)
3d bucket model: proposal to split it on a 3 part (i split on 2 parts now and have some troubles)

 Arduino Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

 April 26, 2015

 Version 2.0

 Arduino Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

 Utilizing a tipping bucket sensor, your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org
 gateway you can measure and sense local rain.  This sketch will create two devices on your
 Vera controller.  One will display your total precipitation for the last 5 days.  The other, 
 a sensor that changes state if there is recent rain (up to last 120 hours)  above a threshold.  
 Both these settings are user definable.

 There is a build overview video here: https://youtu.be/1eMfKQaLROo

 This sketch features the following:

 * Allows you to set the rain threshold in mm
 * Allows you to determine the tripped indicator window up to 120 hours.
 * Displays the last 5 days of rain in Variable1 through Variable5
   of the Rain Sensor device
 * Configuration changes to Sensor device updated every hour
 * Should run on any Arduino
 * Will retain Tripped/Not Tripped status and data in a power interruption, saving small amount
   of data to EEPROM (Circular Buffer to maximize life of EEPROM)
 * LED status indicator
 * Optional Temp/Humidity (DHT-22 or DHT-11) and Light LUX (BH1750) sensors. To use, uncomment
   #define DHT_ON  and/or #define LUX_ON
 * Optionally send total accumulation of each day's rainfall or send only individual days rainfall totals.
   Uncomment #define USE_DAILY to display individual daily rainfall.  If it is commented out it will display
   a cumulative total rainfall (day4 = day1+day2+day3+day4 etc)

@Enfeet I am interested in checking out your code (have not looked through it yet). I am to the point with my rain gauge design that I am ready to do the code for the sensor. Out of curiosity, what type of sensor did you use for your tipping bucket? I am using a magnetic reed switch. I had originally done a bucket design like the one you have, actually when I started my project, I modeled my original one off of that one. This is my modified design:
0_1498328811307_upload-735a635e-b322-420b-b644-72ff206e6f3a
0_1498328935089_upload-b2c2b597-4ca0-4954-8893-2052dcef28b8
The magnet fits in the recessed hole in the side, no need to glue it in. The big difference is that the center divider is angled out to help better with the tipping action.

Here is the rest of the sensor:
0_1498329322457_upload-830ba455-dd6c-431a-a3af-2b730c468e26
0_1498329349998_upload-65eaf66b-c81a-4ad0-bf56-b50be7294a55

I just got the OpenSCAD file for the project cleaned up and I will be posting it to thingiverse later today.

@dbemowsk , i take an original .stl files from the link provided: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3KGTJHUgpw1fkwtM3RreEF2QWg4eUdsUHdSQjl6UWx2Q3dPS19WSGdqd0pZQ3hhQk1TMkE

but in order to save a support material recreate and split it a little ;-)

The result are visible on photos (link in my previous post)

here is an .scad code of my modifications on top of original files, also i print them up side down ;-)

$fn=300;

translate([35,0,0])

translate([62,0,0])
rotate([0,90,0])
difference(){
cylinder(d=10,h=3,center=true);
cylinder(d=4,h=6,center=true);
}


difference(){
translate([-88,0,0])

The arduino code is also from original project (https://www.mysensors.org/build/rain) but i adopt it to Adafruit Unified Sensors Library and last version of Arduino IDE 1.8.3
