The Soil Moisture Sensor helps detect soil moisture levels, making it ideal for automatic plant watering systems.
🔹 Key Features
✔ Detects Soil Moisture – Outputs HIGH when dry, LOW when wet.
✔ Adjustable Sensitivity – Fine-tune using the blue potentiometer.
✔ Dual Output Mode –
- DO (Digital Output): Simple 0 or 1 signal (dry/wet).
- AO (Analog Output): More accurate moisture level readings.
✔ Voltage: Works with 3.3V – 5V power.
✔ Indicator LEDs: - Red = Power ON
- Green = Digital output status
🔹 Wiring Guide (to Arduino)
Sensor Pin | Arduino Pin |
---|---|
VCC | 5V |
GND | GND |
DO (Digital Output) | Any Digital Pin (e.g., D7) |
AO (Analog Output) | Any Analog Pin (e.g., A0) |
✅ AO gives precise moisture levels (0-1023)
✅ DO gives simple wet/dry status (0 or 1)
🔹 Applications
✔ Automatic Plant Watering – Triggers a pump when soil is dry.
✔ Soil Moisture Monitoring – For gardens, farms, and greenhouses.
✔ Smart Irrigation Systems – Save water by watering only when needed.
