PAGOW 2 Packs Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor, High Sensitivity Corrosion Resistant Wooden Capacitive Soil Tester Kit for Plant Care Garden Watering DIY
Having a plan to make your own soil moisture sensor module last more than a few months? PAGOW's Soil Moisture Sensor would help you to do this. APPLICATION: Garden plants / Moisture detection / Intelligent agriculture PARAMETERS: Working voltage: 3.3 ~ 5.5 VDC Output voltage: 0 ~ 3.0 VDC Interface: PH2.54-3P Size: about 98 x 23mm (LxW)/3.860.91in Packing: OPP Packing List: 2 Capacitive soil moisture sensor 2 analog sensor cable How to Use: Step 1: Open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600 Step 2: Place the sensor in the air to read the analog value which represents the moisture is "DRY", marking the value as "A" Step 3: Take a glass of water and insert the sensor into the water at a certain depth, and record analog value which represents the moisture is "100% humidity", marking the value as "B" Step 4: Then insert the sensor into soil at the same depth as step 3, and record analog value which represents the moisture of soil, marking the value as "C" Step 5: Calculation: Soil Moisture = (C-A)/(B-A)100%
Product Features
- Features : This 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 corrosion resistant material which gives it an excellent service life.
- Universal Compatibility : 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 (analog signal to digital signal) conversion module to work.
- Applications : Used to garden plants, moisture detection, intelligent agriculture. Connect with a screen, a motherboard, you will know real-time soil moisture data, see if your beloved plant is thirsty and needs a little more water.
- Parameters : Power Supply - 5V DC ; Output Voltage - 0-3V DC ; Interface - PH2.54-3P ; Pin - Analog signal output, GND, VCC. Can be used for your Arduino and Raspberry Pi project.
- Attention : 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.
