Why not use an Arduino? I need to dig out my old Heathkit tipping bucket rain guage
@peterwest1158 Says:
Hi Chris, have you integrated all the weather sensors you have created (and maybe some others such as sunshine, wind direction, temp/pressure/humidity etc) into a fully fledged station? It is a longer term project of mine but as yet only have the bits for some of the sensors. Have you any experience of the long term stability of 3D printed object outside in a UV world? Thanks for all your work. Peter
@statters Says:
Cool thanks. I have just started work on a battery powered ESP32 version of this project. Thanks for the inspiration and the model files.

the stl on thingiverse are really pico : Auto scaled model to 100000% of original size dixit cura
@ilovealbundy Says:
Manufacturer: Guangzhouyinfumaoyiyouxianzerengongsl.... What a name😂 But a very interesting video, as always. After successfully replicating your Raspberry Pi weather station, I'm going to try this rain gauge, it will definitely be interesting. Thanks for your excellent videos!
@SourojitBh Says:
Can't even remember how many things I have learned from this channel. Thank you so much!

please consider removing silence because i tried it recently on one of your videos and it makes it so much more watchable it's not even funny
@HenryCavillage Says:
Good Morning my friend......😊😊
@markhackney3305 Says:
Wonderful, motivating content as always. Hard to believe that a got a credit for my python project on a course last year, when I had to reread the code 3 times to remember what was going on! motivated to get back learning Python, thanks!

Only computing devices I miss on this channel are slide rule and addiator :-)

8:20 Hold on a second. . . "Math & Code"! When did you become American Christopher?
@IanHodgetts Says:
Today I learned the international hand gesture for '"from the sky" ;-)
@Craylos Says:
Great video Chris, as always
@juanramirezjardua2082 Says:
Loved your project. Thanks for sharing. I'll build it but replacing the local display by mqtt messages to my temperature-pressure-humidity-light sensing setup. Raspberry pico is a great hardware.
@Cyklonus Says:
👍👍
@googleboughtmee Says:
I think me building a rain gauge would be the only thing that could possibly stop it from raining in the UK
@repeekyraidcero Says:
Hey Chris.
I just stumbled across "ValiDrive" a tool to check media for false storage capacity readings.
Maybe you wanna test it ?
@eddie_Za Says:
very nice sir..
@Badg0r Says:
I like the DIY video's. Can you please concider to make more of them?
@chriholt Says:
Fascinating project Chris! I used to have a commercial weather station at my home for many years, and have always enjoyed playing with it. I was mostly interested in how you "calibrated" the gauge, figuring tips/millimeter.
@BilisNegra Says:
2:29 I don't know if that's because of missing spaces, but that manufacturer name sounds like a Chinese cat just walked across a keyboard.
@stub1116 Says:
What a good video.
@norm1124 Says:
I love the idea, but would prefer an ultralowpower battery solution running for a very long time.
@bobrowles43 Says:
Thank you Chris... love the content as the microcontroller space seems to be dominated by Arduino / ESP-32. I play with the pico a fair amount so its much appreciated. I do wish it was a little more popular among your subscribers to promote more views / additional content. Anyway thank you and keep them coming.
@Jdvc-yd5tx Says:
Pearls before swine. This is precisely why I had to give up electronics and we haven't even touched a transistor. Do you know how difficult it actually is to manufacture a reed switch? Who invented the tipping bucket system aliens?
@jamescarter9147 Says:
You could dump the waste water directly into a bucket to better calibrate the meter.
@electrotsmishar Says:
that's brilliant. when rain detection came to mind, I was thinking about some complicated sensor
@3dtexan890 Says:
Is it easy to change the rainfall to inches?
@MichelMorinMontreal Says:
Do not miss the new musical « Coding in the rain » !
On a more serious note, this is a brilliantly executed project! We shouldn't be surprised to see it listed on the Raspberry Foundation website soon... Thank you very much for this presentation!
@IvanHernandez-ck5vv Says:
Thanks!

A water resistant coating on the parts so water doesn't just sit on the sides of the funnel and rocking buckets
@abelbarsony Says:
This is a really cool project, thanks for the content, and the ideas!
@FrancoGrimoldi Says:
Yes!!! We love all the Raspberry projects!!!
@alby13 Says:
" If all of this sounds very exciting.... It Is! "
@zebop917 Says:
This retired meteorologist would just like to offer one comment. If you built the funnel with a deep vertical lip then you wouldn’t lose collected rain when it splashes on contact with the funnel surface. Then you’d get more accurate measurements of heavy rain / large raindrops.
@phildxyz Says:
Great to see this in so much detail with a lovely clear delivery. As my commercial weather station has failed again, I think it's time to have a go...
@Tag1Toy Says:
Absolutely great project! But I have a warning issue: The legs of the read relay is not of copper. They are made by steel. Otherwise the magnetic magic couldn't work.
One problem with steel is that steel will rust. The rust will creep inside the read relay. And they will stop working. No matter if it made by plastic or glass.
So, try to cover the legs with some sealing like paint, melting glue etcetera.
(Just sharing some of my experience from automotive industry (Volvo) where it has been a lot of problems with small sensors for antifreeze, windscreen washer fluids).
@rolfsinkgraven Says:
A very nice project again.
@giannistsolebas6962 Says:
What an awesome project, demonstrating how useful SBCs are!
@Joe_The_IT_Guy Says:
I love these “practical gadget” type videos!
@tkd4 Says:
We all heard it works. I heard ,it's alive it's Alive wahaaaaa.
@nonoyorbusness Says:
We just use the wheelbarrow Chris!
@sikkepossu Says:
Nice project. I was wondering how the "real" rainfall meters work?
@keithwhite2986 Says:
Always good to give electronics projects a soak test.
@dougcox835 Says:
Good little project and I notice that you have changed some of your practices. You used to painstakingly type in every line of code and explain everything. You should do a separate video with all the details on your other channel. You should also say something about how to do this in inches as most of your audience is American and that's the way we think.
@woollysoxx Says:
Great project!
@NonameGamerx11 Says:
Tack!
@PGW90RU14 Says:
Hi. What about a water tank accumulating rain drops? The increase of its weight means the amount of rain drops and discharging water periodically using a pump allows continuous use without human intervention.
