Rain Gauge

Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

These have a bucket with two compartments that tips when one fills up which dumps the full bucket, starts filling the other bucket. As the bucket tips, a magnet swings by a magnetic read switch and briefly closes the contacts. The switch is connected between ground and one of the Pi GPIO line XXX. The PIGPIOD daemon/library monitors this GPIO line.
