Request Fritzing Parts: RS485 Soil Sensors & Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge

parts help

Hello Fritzing Community,

I’m currently developing an environmental monitoring system based on soil and weather parameters. I need several Fritzing parts to complete the schematic and PCB layout. I’ve searched the standard library and GitHub community parts but haven’t found these modules yet.

Here are the components I’m looking for:

  1. RS485 Soil Sensor (Temp, Humidity, EC, pH) – DFRobot SEN0604
  1. Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge / Ombrometer

I would appreciate it if anyone has the .fzpz parts or could help create one based on the datasheets or module dimensions. Even a similar sensor module with standard pinouts would be helpful for now.

If needed, I can provide more specs or help with mechanical drawings. Thank you in advance for your support and time!

Best regards,
Hanafi

In sufficient information to do anything with. Your web reference demands a login and I don’t have and don’t want a login. Please provide an accessible webpage for what you want.

Hi Peter,

As requested, here is the physical dimension reference of the tipping bucket rain gauge sensor I’m working with:

Cuplikan layar 2025-07-12 200015

Description:

Height: 82 mm

Top opening: 70 mm × 51 mm

Funnel base area: 54 mm × 36 mm

Cable length: ~35 cm

Connector: 3-pin female jumper (likely: VCC, GND, and Signal)

This sensor mounts vertically and each tipping of the internal mechanism represents a small fixed volume of rainfall.

Hi again,

As a continuation of my previous post, here’s a diagram of the internal structure of the rain gauge:

Key internal components:

A tipping bucket mechanism sits inside the enclosure

A magnet is attached to the bucket arm

A Hall Effect sensor (A3144) is mounted to detect each tip

Output is a digital pulse each time the bucket tips (usually indicating ~0.2 mm of rainfall)

The device sends pulses through the signal wire, which are counted via GPIO or interrupt pin on ESP32/Arduino.

Thanks again for your assistance and consideration.

Here is the rain sensor part. The url is probably not correct, but is for a similar product.
