Description

Overview

  • The soil moisture sensor is commonly used in smart agriculture or other garden automation projects to measure the moisture content present in the soil.
  • It consists of 4 pins in which two pins, Vcc and Gnd are connected to supply voltage the remaining two pins are digital  and analog  are the output pins.
  • When the moisture content present in the soil goes beyond the threshold level, the output of the digital pin (D0) will go low (the output of the digital pin is either logic 0 or 1).
  • The threshold value of the sensor module can be set by varying the onboard potentiometer.
  • The analog output pin can be used to calculate the approximate level of moisture content present in the soil.
