In this video, I will guide you through the complete process of creating a DIY cloth protection system from rain using an Arduino UNO, a rain sensor module, and an L298N motor driver. This project is perfect for automating the protection of outdoor cloth or any surface that needs shielding from sudden rain.
In this video, you'll learn:
How to set up the rain sensor module to detect rainfall
How to connect and use the L298N motor driver with Arduino
The best motor type to use for efficient cloth movement
How to code and program the system for automatic functionality
Troubleshooting common issues and tips for optimizing your project
Materials used:
Arduino UNO
Rain Sensor Module
L298N Motor Driver
[Motor type you used, e.g., DC Motor]
Power supply and necessary wires
This project is a great way to learn about automating protective systems and understanding how sensors and motors work together. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more DIY projects!
Arduino code
// Define the pins
const int rainSensorPin = A0; // Pin connected to the rain sensor
const int motorForwardPin = 3; // Pin connected to the motor for forward rotation
const int motorReversePin = 4; // Pin connected to the motor for reverse rotation
// Variables to track the state of the sensor and motor
bool previousSensorState = LOW; // Stores the previous state of the sensor
void setup() {
pinMode(rainSensorPin, INPUT);
pinMode(motorForwardPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motorReversePin, OUTPUT);
// Ensure motor is off at the start
digitalWrite(motorForwardPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(motorReversePin, LOW);
}
void loop() {
int currentSensorState = digitalRead(rainSensorPin);
if (currentSensorState == HIGH && previousSensorState == LOW) {
// Rain starts: sensor goes from LOW to HIGH
digitalWrite(motorForwardPin, HIGH); // Turn motor forward
delay(2000); // Run motor forward for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(motorForwardPin, LOW); // Stop the motor
}
else if (currentSensorState == LOW && previousSensorState == HIGH) {
// Rain stops: sensor goes from HIGH to LOW
digitalWrite(motorReversePin, HIGH); // Turn motor in reverse
delay(2000); // Run motor in reverse for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(motorReversePin, LOW); // Stop the motor
}
// Update the previous sensor state
previousSensorState = currentSensorState;
