Overview
The sensor traces have a weak pull-up resistor of 1 MΩ.
The resistor will pull the sensor trace value high until a drop of water shorts the sensor trace to the grounded trace.
Believe it or not this circuit will work with the digital I/O pins of your Arduino or you can use it with the analog pins to detect the amount of water induced contact between the grounded and sensor traces.
Features:
- Grove compatible interface
- Low power consumption
- 2.0cm x 2.0cm Grove module
- High sensitivity
Application Ideas:
- Rainfall detecting
- Liquid leakage
- Tank overflow detector

… shield compatibility in favor of a miniaturized footprint (48x18 mm) and lower cost. The Nano 33 IoT is built around the ESP32, which is primarily aimed at WiFi but supports Bluetooth® as well, although with higher power consumption than the Nano 33 BLE. The Arduino Nano 33 IoT is available in pre-order in the Arduino online store with headers (estimate shipping date: end of July 2019) or without headers mounted (estimated shipping date: mid-June 2019).
