Specification:
- Operating voltage: 3.3 - 12V DC
- Current (in use): <20mA
- Current (digital output): max 30mA
- I/O: DO/AO
- Operating temperature: -25 – 85 Deg C
- Module dimensions: 36 x 15 x 17mm (L x W x H)
Applications:
- Automatic watering system: By connecting the sensor to a microcontroller or comparator circuit, the moisture level in the soil can be monitored, and when the moisture level falls below a certain threshold, the system can be programmed to automatically activate the watering system to irrigate the plants.
- Plant growth monitoring: The sensor can be used to study the relationship between soil moisture and plant growth. The moisture level in the soil can be measured at different intervals to see how it affects the growth of plants.
- Irrigation control: The sensor can be used to monitor soil moisture levels in a large field or crop area. Based on the moisture level readings, the irrigation system can be turned on or off, reducing water wastage and optimizing water usage.
- Environmental monitoring: The sensor can be used to monitor soil moisture levels in an environment that requires a specific level of moisture, such as a greenhouse or a terrarium.
- Research and experimentation: The sensor can be used in scientific experiments to study the effects of different soil moisture levels on plant growth or other variables.
Pin Connections:
| Pin | Description |
|---|---|
| AO | Analog Output: Generates an analog output voltage proportional to the soil moisture level. A higher level results in a higher voltage, and a lower level results in a lower voltage. |
| DO | Digital Output: Indicates whether the soil moisture level is within the acceptable range. D0 becomes LOW when the moisture level exceeds the threshold value (as set by the potentiometer), and HIGH otherwise. |
| Vcc | The sensor should be powered between 3.3V and 5V. Please remember that the sensor's analog output will change depending on the voltage provided to it. |
| GND | Ground: Stands for ground. |
Package Includes:
- 1 x Soil Moisture Humidity Sensor Module with Cabled Probe
Notes:
- It should not be left in the soil continuously for extended periods of time. The probe can be damaged if left in the soil for too long, which can affect its accuracy and lifespan.
- Keep in mind that your sensor may be more or less sensitive depending on the type of soil you use. Also, minerals dissolved in water from fertilizers and other sources can affect the sensor output.
