Writing the Code

Note
You can copy this code into Arduino IDE.
Don’t forget to select the board(Arduino UNO R4) and the correct port before clicking the Upload button.

  /*
  This code reads the digital value from a raindrops detection sensor module connected to
  pin 7 and prints it to the serial monitor every 50 milliseconds.
  When the rainwater on the sensor reaches the threshold,
  the DO output is low and the indicator light is on.

  Board: Arduino Uno R3 (or R4)
  Component: Raindrops Detection Sensor Module
*/

// Digital pin connected to the raindrop sensor
const int sensorPin = 7;

void setup() {
  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);  // Set the sensor pin as input
  Serial.begin(9600);         // Start serial communication
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println(digitalRead(sensorPin));  // Read and print the sensor state
  delay(50);                               // Sampling interval
}
