Description

Made up of a probe with two metal terminals and a small module based on the LM393 IC, it measures the moisture content of the soil, for example in a flower pot. When soil moisture is below a set threshold, output D0 goes to a logic high level, while when moisture rises above the set threshold, output D0 goes to a logic low level. Particularly suitable for building an automatic watering device. It also has an analogue output A0 that can be connected to the analogue input of Arduino, Fishino, etc.
