How Rain Sensor Works & How to Use it with Arduino

The raindrop sensor also known as rain detector sensor is an easy-to-use device that can detect rainfall. It acts as a switch when raindrops fall on the sensor, other than that with slight tweaks in the code, it can also measure the intensity of the rainfall. This sensor also has a separate indicator led and an onboard potentiometer through which you can adjust the sensitivity of the output digital signal provided by the sensor.
