DescriptionThis soil moisture sensor uses capacitive sensing rather than resistive sensing like other sensors on the market to assess soil moisture levels. It is built of corrosion-resistant material, giving it a long service life. Put it in the soil around your plants and wow your guests with real-time soil moisture data!This module has an on-board voltage regulator with a working voltage range of 3.3 5.5V. It is ideal for 3.3V and 5V low-voltage MCUs. It will require an ADC converter to be compatible with a Raspberry Pi.This soil moisture sensor works with our 3-pin “Gravity” interface, which may be connected straight to the Gravity I/O expansion shield.KEY FEATURES Analog output of moisture contentMore corrosion resistant than resistive type of sensor3.3 or 5V operation. It is low power so may be driven from the digital pin on the MCU.APPLICATIONSGardening & FarmingMoisture DetectionIntelligent AgricultureSPECIFICATIONSOperating Voltage: 3.3 ~ 5.5 VDCOutput Voltage: 0 ~ 3.0VDCOperating Current: 5mAInterface: PH2.0-3PWeight: 15gDOCUMENTTUTORIALSHIPPING LIST1 x Soil Moisture Capacitive Sensor1 X 3-wire interface cable, 8″ long
