How It Works
The sensor consists of two probes that measure the electrical resistance in the soil. When the soil is dry, the resistance is high, resulting in a lower output voltage. Conversely, when the soil is moist, the resistance is lower, resulting in a higher output voltage. This output can be read by an Arduino board to determine the soil moisture level.
Getting Started
- Connect the Sensor: Attach the sensor to your Arduino board using the provided pins.
- Upload the Code: Use the sample code available on the Arduino website to get started.
- Read the Data: Monitor soil moisture levels through the Arduino IDE or integrate the sensor data into your custom application.
