Intelligent Rain Detection Module

This module seems perfect for making auto-wipers in a car project, but the datasheet says it should not be stored in direct sunlight for extended periods. That seems contradictory?

Thanks for Wiring image.

I'll be able to test more soon

I was wondering if I could make an automatic plant watering system like this:

using the intelligent rain detection module. I think it will be more user-friendly if there is an Arduino sample code. 

Hi,

I have just bought this module,

If you manage to make it work, Can you confirm  the wiring given on https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2611.html: 

Wiring：Black-VCC，White-UART_RX，Yellow-UART_TX，Red-GND

I't not a typing error for Black-VCC and Red-GND ?

it is not a standard use

thank you in advance for your help

It's recommend you to use any of the Serial Debugger to debug the sensor first, before you actual connect it on your MCU board.

Serial Debugger:

And you could debug the sensor by the software like putty or SSCOM.

SSCOM:

And send the data as: 3A 00 00 00 4B in HEX to see if the module gives you the feed back.

Have you studied the datsheet and user manual?
