Gravity: Analog Capacitive Corrosion Resistant Soil Moisture Sensor for Arduino / Raspberry Pi

SKU: SEN0193

Our soil moisture sensor uses capacitive sensing (not resistive like other sensors) and corrosion resistant material for excellent service life. Insert it in soil around your plants for real-time moisture data! It has an on-board voltage regulator (3.3~5.5V), perfect for 3.3V/5V low-voltage MCUs. Raspberry Pi needs an ADC converter. Compatible with our 3-pin "Gravity" interface, it can be directly connected to the Gravity I/O expansion shield.
