Simple Rain Sensor - Overview
Simple rain sensor
The simple rain sensor breakout board is a precise sensor that detects if any moisture is present on its surface. It has two nickel-plated lines that are shorted when any moisture is present. It is commonly used as a rain sensor. This sensor also comes in a version with I2C communication, with a default address of 0x30, and is designed for seamless Qwiic (formerly easyC) connectivity—eliminating the need for soldering.
