Instructions for wiring a tipping bucket rain gauge are on the wiki:
http://hivetool.org/w/index.php?title=Hardware:_Sensor_Wiring#Rain_Gauge
I'll try to add pictures and more details, but this should get you going.
a place for hive monitor developers to discuss Hardware and Software
I just purchased one of the Gauges you recommended.
THs instructions on the Wiki are not linked nor accessible. Would you be so kind as to share or post the wiring and pictures or details for me to replicate
