Soil Moisture Sensor Module

The Soil Moisture Sensor Module is a versatile and easy-to-use sensor designed for detecting the moisture level in soil. It is ideal for applications in agriculture, gardening, and environmental monitoring, allowing for precise control over watering and irrigation systems.

Key Features:

1. Moisture Detection: Accurately measures the moisture content in soil, providing essential data for efficient water management.
2. Dual Outputs: Provides both digital and analog outputs for flexible interfacing with different types of microcontrollers and systems.
3. Adjustable Sensitivity: Features a potentiometer for fine-tuning the moisture detection threshold, allowing customization for different soil types and conditions.
4. Easy Integration: Simple to connect and use with popular microcontroller platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others.
5. Durable Design: The sensor probes are designed to be durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Technical Specifications:

• Operating Voltage: 3.3V – 5V
• Output Type: Digital and Analog
• Digital Output: High/Low (1/0) based on moisture threshold
• Analog Output: 0V to VCC (varying voltage based on soil moisture level)
• Sensitivity Adjustment: Potentiometer on the control board
• Dimensions:
  • Sensor Probes: Typically 60mm in length
  • Control Board: Typically 30mm x 16mm
• Connection Pins:
  • VCC: Power supply (3.3V to 5V)
  • GND: Ground
  • D0: Digital output
  • A0: Analog output

Applications:

• Agriculture: Monitor soil moisture levels to optimize irrigation and improve crop yield.
• Gardening: Automate watering systems for home gardens, ensuring plants receive the right amount of water.
• Greenhouses: Maintain ideal growing conditions by monitoring and adjusting soil moisture levels.
• Environmental Monitoring: Track soil moisture as part of broader environmental data collection and analysis.
• Smart Home Automation: Integrate with home automation systems for intelligent garden and lawn care.

How to Use:

1. Connection:
   • Connect the VCC pin to a 3.3V or 5V power supply.
   • Connect the GND pin to the ground.
   • Connect the D0 pin to a digital input pin on your microcontroller to read the digital moisture detection signal.
   • Connect the A0 pin to an analog input pin on your microcontroller to read the analog voltage corresponding to the soil moisture level.
2. Sensitivity Adjustment:
   • Use the potentiometer on the control board to adjust the moisture detection threshold. Turning the potentiometer will change the point at which the digital output changes state.
3. Reading Data:
   • Read the digital output (D0) to get a binary indication of soil moisture (1 for dry soil, 0 for wet soil).
   • Read the analog output (A0) to get a continuous voltage level that varies with the moisture content in the soil.
