Raspberry Pi Pico Rain Gauge

From the creator

Raspberry Pi Pico rain gauge project. Note that STL files for all of the 3D printable parts have been shared on Thingiverse here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6636418 And there is also a web page to support this project here: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/pi_pico_rain_gauge.html The pack of reed switches I bought are on Amazon UK here: https://amzn.to/3K0BxqF -- with a very similar alternative (2.5 rather than 3mm cross section, but the same manufacturer) on Amazon US here: https://amzn.to/3UUJOCR Note that these are affiliate links, and that as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases made after clicking on these links.
