Soil Moisture Sensor
What is a Soil moisture sensor?
Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in the soil. The relation between the measured property and soil moisturemust be calibrated and may vary depending on environmental factors such as soiltype, temperature, or electric conductivity.
How to Work soil moisture sensor?
A small charge is placed on the electrodes and electrical resistance through the sensor is measured. As water is used by plants or as the soil moisture decreases, water is drawn from the sensor, and resistance increases. Conversely, as soil moisture increases, resistance decreases.Soil moisture sensor parts and pinouts
