Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor V2.0

Description

• Capacitive Sensing Technology: The sensor employs capacitive sensing technology to measure soil moisture levels. It works by detecting changes in the dielectric constant of the soil as it becomes more or less saturated with water.
• High Precision: Offers precise and sensitive measurements, allowing users to gauge soil moisture content with accuracy.
• Wide Voltage Range: Compatible with a broad voltage range, typically ranging from 3.3V to 5V, making it compatible with various microcontrollers and development boards.
• Analog Output: Provides an analog voltage output that varies proportionally with soil moisture levels, allowing for easy integration with microcontrollers, Arduino boards, and other data logging systems.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand outdoor conditions, the sensor is designed with corrosion-resistant materials, making it suitable for long-term use in soil.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward insertion into the soil near the root zone of plants or crops, making it suitable for use in gardens, farms, and planters.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Enables real-time monitoring of soil moisture levels, helping users make informed decisions about when and how much to water their plants.
• Low Power Consumption: Energy-efficient design ensures that the sensor consumes minimal power, prolonging the life of batteries in remote applications.
• Calibration Options: Some versions of the sensor may allow for calibration to adapt to different soil types and environmental conditions.
• Visual Indicator: Some models include LED indicators to provide a quick visual indication of soil moisture status.
