Building an Automated Rain Sensor for my Urban Observatory (Episode 1)

I’m building a fully automated backyard observatory on a budget from a normal suburban garden. www.urbandeepsky.com In this episode, I design and build a tipping-bucket rain sensor — the first line of defence that protects my smart telescope when the weather turns. From 3D printing the housing, to testing the electronics, to installing it outdoors, this is Version 1 of the system that will eventually close the observatory automatically. In the next episode, I’ll take the entire setup off-grid using solar power.
