The Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor V2.0 uses capacitive sensing to measure soil moisture levels, offering greater accuracy and durability compared to traditional resistive sensors. Made from corrosion-resistant material, it ensures a long lifespan. Simply insert it into the soil around your plants to access real-time moisture data.
This module features an onboard voltage regulator, supporting an operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V, making it suitable for both 3.3V and 5V low-voltage MCUs. To use with a Raspberry Pi, an ADC converter is required. The sensor is compatible with the 3-pin Gravity interface, allowing easy connection to the Gravity I/O expansion shield.
