Feature

●This analog capacitive soil moisture sensor measures soil moisture levels by capacitive sensing, rather than resistive sensing like other types of moisture sensor
●It is made of a corrosion resistant material giving it a long service life
●It is possible to read the amount of real-time moisture present in the soil (for judging whether the soil is wet or dry) by linking the analog output (AOUT) of the module to one analog input (A0) of the Arduino.
●This module includes an on-board voltage regulator which gives it an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V
●This sensor is 3-pin "Gravity" interface, which can be directly connected to the Gravity I/O expansion shield


Description

Description:

Operating voltage: 3.3 ~ 5.5 VDC.

Output voltage: 0 ~ 3.0 VDC.

Interface: PH2.54-3P.

Dimensions: 98 mm x 23 mm (3.86 inches x 0.905 inches).

Weight: 15 g.

The product includes an on-board voltage regulator which gives it an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V. It is compatible with low-voltage MCUs (both 3.3V and 5V logic). A miniature PC such as the Raspberry Pi only needs an external ADC (analogue signal to digital signal) conversion module to work.

The principle of capacitive sensing is used to detect soil moisture. It is made of a corrosion resistant material. It avoids the problem of being easily corroded and greatly prolongs its working life.

Through simple design, can automatic watering the vegetable garden, garden, control the flower pot soil moisture, all of electronic competitions and for the Arduino Raspberry pi design etc.

Since this sensor monitors the soil moisture according to the principle of capacitive sensing, it is reflected in different places where the soil moisture is different, the tightness is different, and the insertion depth is different. Even in the same place, the same depth is in the second. At the time of the second insertion, the moisture may be read lower than the first time because the soil has been loosened during the first extraction.

Package includes:

3 x Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor.

3 x analogue sensor cable.
