Guten Morgen and Hello,
I think it is not so easy to adjust this kind of sensor the right way. If you switch of the heater you will get some delay, if it stops raining or also in winter. If the sensor is heated you may miss if it drizzles.
But I can do further investigation of this topic over the next weeks.
The readings, I plotted in my graph, are from my first prototype weather station (which I want to replace with the WeatherDuino). The rain gauge is just a FineOffset with 0.3mm resolution. And her you can the the overall impulse counter. The Software I am displaying it makes is kcount for kilo. So nothing special.
But what I already thought about - if I install a bigger funnel over the fine offset gauge i can make it more precise.
Nice Sunday,
engolling
