At the interfacing section the LiquidCrystal library is first initialized and then pins are defined using the command “LiquidCrystal lcd(RS, E, D4, D5, D6, D7)”. One more library called “LiguidCrystal.h” is used, to facilitate communication between Arduino and LCD module. By calling the inbuilt function “myservo.write(angle)” we can turn the servo shaft to desired angle. A library called “Servo.h” is used here for servo operations. Īt the beginning ,program will continuously check the reading from the rain sensor. And the intensity of rainfall will be displayed on the LCD according to the signal strength. The speed of operation of servo will be varied according to the strength of the signal. If the signal from the module goes beyond a minimum value, the servo motor begins to operate. After that the controller will continuously checks the signal from rain sensing module. When the device is switched ON, the servo motor will turn the wiper to zero degree position. And data pin D4-D7 is connected to 7,6,5 and 4 of Arduino. Control pin RS, RW and En are directly connected to arduino pin 13, GND and 10. To facilitate communication between Arduino and LCD module, we make use of a built in library in Arduino – which is written for LCD modules making use of the Hitachi HD44780 chipset (or a compatible chipset). Here we are using the LCD module in 4-bit mode. The JHD162A has 16 pins and can be operated in 4-bit mode (using only 4 data lines) or 8-bit mode (using all 8 data lines).

JHD162A is a 16×2 LCD module based on the HD44780 driver from Hitachi. Interfacing of Arduino to 16×2 LCD is quite simple. Next comes is the LCD module, which is for displaying the rainfall intensity. Here we connect the signal line of servo to one of the PWM pin of Arduino(i.e. Servo motor is a special kind of high torque dc motor whose shaft can be adjusted to desirable position by generating an appropriate PWM signal at its signal line. With the addition of an LDR connected to analog pin 0.As mentioned earlier a servo motor is used here for wiper movements. Here is a vibration of this sketch that uses an LDR sensor to make the motor vibrate. The transistor will turn on (conduct) when the pin is HIGH, allowing current to flow through the motor.

This sketch sets the output pin HIGH for one second (1000 milliseconds) and then waits for 50 seconds. The 33-ohm resistor is needed to limit the amount of current flowing through the motor. The capacitor absorbs voltage spikes produced when the brushes (contacts connecting electric current to the motor windings) open and close. The diode absorbs voltages produced by the motor windings as it rotates. Any NPN transistor can be used.Ī 1 kilohm resistor connects the output pin to the transistor base the value is not critical, and you can use values up to 4.7 kilohms or so (the resistor prevents too much current flowing through the output pin). Vibration motors require more power than an Arduino pin can provide, so a transistor is used to switch the motor current on and off. If we have an old cell phone we no longer need, it may contain tiny vibration motors that would be suitable. This sketch uses a motor designed to vibrate. The following sketch will turn on the vibration motor for one second each minute:
