Reviews (0)

With this sensor you measure the humidity of the soil. The sensor distinguishes itself from other soil moisture sensors by the capacitive measurement instead of a resistance measurement. This makes the sensor a lot more corrosion resistant and therefore lasts longer.

It will be helpful to remind you to water your indoor plants or to monitor the soil moisture in your garden. The IO Expansion Shield is the perfect shield to connect this sensor to Arduino.

Soil moisture sensor uses Immersion Gold which protects the nickel from oxidation. Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) has several advantages over more conventional (and cheaper) surface platings such as HASL (solder), including excellent surface planarity (particularly helpful for PCB's with large BGA packages), good oxidation resistance, and usability for untreated contact surfaces such as membrane switches and contact points.
