Summary
This circuit is designed to interface a rain sensor with an Arduino UNO microcontroller and control a Tower Pro SG90 servo motor based on the sensor input. The rain sensor detects the presence of rain and provides an analog output to the Arduino, which processes the signal and accordingly drives the servo motor. The servo motor can be used to actuate a mechanism, such as moving a cover to protect an object from rain.
Component List
RAIN SENSOR
- Pins: AO (Analog Output), DO (Digital Output), GRD (Ground), VCC (Power Supply)

Documented Code
The following code is intended to run on the Arduino UNO microcontroller:
void setup() {
}
void loop() {
}
The code is currently a template with empty setup()
and loop()
functions. The setup()
function should be used to initialize the pin modes, and the loop()
function should contain the main logic for reading the rain sensor's analog output and controlling the servo motor accordingly.
Note: The actual implementation code for reading the sensor and controlling the servo is not provided in the input and should be developed based on the specific requirements of the application.
