Earth

Description

Unit Earth is a soil moisture sensor used for collecting moisture in soil or similar materials. The sensor has two measurement probes that are inserted into the soil to be measured. Since higher moisture content results in better conductivity, the potential difference between the two probes is measured and converted via ADC, and the detection result is sent to the MC4.0. The Unit also integrates a 10K adjustable resistor for adjusting the detection threshold.

Features

  • Integrated 10K adjustable resistor for threshold adjustment.
  • Analog & Digital Output
  • HY2.0-4P interface, supports MCLab and Arduino
  • 2 x LEGO compatible holes

Includes

  • 1 x Unit Earth
  • 1 x HY2.0-4P Grove connection cable (20cm)

Applications

  • Potted soil moisture monitoring
