When used with an Arduino (not included), this sensor can be used in your projects to measure the moisture in soil and similar materials Dual output mode: Digital or Analog (analog output is more accurate) Features a potentiometer for setting the digital output threshold value Power and Digital Output Indicator LEDs Includes Soil Moisture Sensor Comparator Board, Sensor Probe, and a 2-pin female-female cable This Soil Moisture Sensor can be used in your Arduino projects to measure the moisture in soil and similar materials. The two probes of the soil moisture sensor act together as a variable resistor — the more water there is in the soil, the better the conductivity between the probes will be, thus resulting in a lower resistance and a higher output. Features digital or analog output (analog output is more accurate), potentiometer for setting the digital output threshold value, Power (red) and Digital Output Indicator (green) LEDs, and a mounting hole for easy installation. 4 Wire Interface Description: VCC: Power (3.3V-5V) A0: Analog Output interface (0 – VCC) D0: Digital Output interface (0 or 1) GND: Ground Includes: 1x Soil Moisture Sensor Comparator Board 1x Soil Moisture Sensor Probe 1x 2-pin female-female cable Size: Sensor probe measures 2.42" x .83 overall Module measures 1.2" x 0.57" NOTE: TO UTILIZE THIS SOIL SENSOR, AN ARDUINO (OR OTHER MICROCONTROLLER) IS REQUIRED AND IS NOT INCLUDED. Project ideas and code are not included, but are readily available online.
