Arduino Nano Auto Rain Shield for Clothes

Arduino Nano-Based Auto Rain Shield for Clothes

This DIY project automates the protection of clothes from rain using an Arduino Nano, a rain sensor, and a servo motor. When rain is detected, the system moves the clothesline under a shelter and returns it to the sun when dry.

Package Contains:

• Arduino Nano - 1
• USB Cable - 1
• Rain Sensor Module - 1
• Servo Motor - 1
• Cable Male to Male - 1
• Cable Male to Female - 1
• Breadboard - 1

Working Principle

1. The rain sensor detects moisture and sends a signal to the Arduino.
2. The Arduino Nano processes the signal and controls the servo motor.
3. The servo motor moves the clothesline under a shelter when it rains and back under the sun when dry.

Implementation

• Connect the rain sensor to the Arduino (VCC, GND, and signal pin to D2).
• Interface the servo motor (signal pin to D9).
• Upload the Arduino sketch from Github link from project page.
• Mount the components on a movable frame for smooth operation.
• Test the system by simulating rain conditions.
