Capacitive Analog Soil Moisture Sensor 3.3~5.5V

Capacitive Analog Soil Moisture Sensor 3.3~5.5V measures soil moisture levels by capacitive rather than resistive sensing like other sensors on the market.

It is made of corrosion-resistant material, which gives it excellent service life. Insert it into the soil around your plants and impress your friends with real-time soil moisture data!

This module includes an onboard voltage regulator, giving it an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V. It is perfect for low-voltage MCUs, both 3.3V and 5V. For compatibility with a Raspberry Pi, it will need an ADC converter. This soil moisture sensor is compatible with our 3-pin “Gravity” interface, which can be directly connected to the Gravity I/O expansion shield.
