We report the design and installation of a distributed soil moisture sensor network in a riparian zone within the Whitewater Basin in Central Kansas. The soil-moisture monitoring network used in this ...

The hardware is consists of an Arduino microcontroller (here an Arduino Uno R3) and a pre-wired soil moisture sensor module. The soil moisture sensor module , built around the LM393 comparator, gives ...

But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how capacitive soil moisture sensors work simply, clearly, and concisely.

Capacitance Sensor: A device that estimates soil water content by measuring the capacity of soil to store electrical charge in relation to its moisture content.

Makers might be interested to know that Adafruit is now stocking a new STEMMA capacitive soil moisture sensor which provides superior enhancements when compared with resistive style soil moisture ...

Capacitance sensors typically measure soil moisture at several depths and at 10cm or 20cm intervals, tracking how water is moving through the soil profile and the relative soil moisture at each ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Ever wanted to measure soil moisture? Common “soil moisture meter module arduino raspberry compatible free shipping” PCBs might deceive you with their ascetic looks. Today, [Raphael (@rbaron ...

Soil moisture sensors can help farmers save water, by letting them know when their crops actually need to be watered. An experimental new sensor could be particularly helpful, as it incorporates a ...
