DFROBOT Gravity: Analog Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor- Corrosion Resistant

DFROBOT Gravity: Analog Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor- Corrosion Resistant

• This analog capacitive soil moisture sensor measures soil moisture levels by capacitive sensing, rather than resistive sensing like other types of moisture sensor
• Insert it into soil and impress your friends with the real-time soil moisture data
• This module includes an on-board voltage regulator which gives it an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V
• This sensor is compatible with DFRobot 3-pin "Gravity" interface, which can be directly connected to the Gravity I/O expansion shield. Download User Guide on this page for more. (Technical Specification - User Guide)

<b> INTRODUCTION</b><br> This product measures soil mositure levels by capacitive sensing, rather than resistive sensing like other types of moisture sensor. It is made of a corrosion resistant materal giving it a long service life. Insert it into soil and impress your friends with the real-time soil moisture data!<br> <br> The product includes an on-board voltage regulator which gives it an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V. It is compatible with low-voltage MCUs (both 3.3V and 5V logic). To make it compatible with a Raspberry Pi, an ADC converter is required.<br> <br> This sensor is compatible with our 3-pin "Gravity" interface, which means it can be directly connected to the Gravity I/O Expansion Shield.<br> <br> The following image shows an example project - a device that notifies you when a plant needs to be watered.<br> <br> <b> APPLICATIONS</b><br> Gardening & Farming<br> Moisture Detection<br> Intelligent Agriculture<br> <br> <b> SPECIFICATION</b><br> Operating Voltage: 3.3 ~ 5.5 VDC<br> Output Voltage: 1.2 ~2.5 VDC<br> Interface: PH2.0-3P<br> <br> <b> SHIPPING LIST</b><br> Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor x1<br> Analog Sensor Cable x1<br>
