Measure Soil Moisture Easily with your micro:bit
The Kitronik Prong Soil Moisture Sensor (5647) is a specialized sensor board designed to measure the moisture levels present in soil. It is the perfect module for creating automated plant watering systems, smart greenhouses, or simply monitoring when your favorite desk plant needs a drink, all powered by your BBC micro:bit.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Crocodile Clip Friendly: The board features large, specially shaped pads that allow for quick and secure connections to the micro:bit using standard crocodile clips. No soldering or breadboards are required.
- High STEM Educational Value: Encourages students to explore the principles of conductivity. The sensor works by measuring the electrical resistance between its two prongs (wet soil is a better conductor of electricity than dry soil).
- Simple Programming: Reading the moisture data is done utilizing the analog inputs of the micro:bit. It integrates seamlessly into the Microsoft MakeCode environment, making coding straightforward for beginners.
- Direct Insertion Design: The "Prong" shape allows the sensor to be easily and firmly pushed directly into the soil of a plant pot.
Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: BBC micro:bit V1 & V2
- Brand: Kitronik (SKU: 5647)
- Operating Voltage: 3V (powered directly via the micro:bit)
- Connection Method: Crocodile clip leads (not included)
- Dimensions: 68mm (L) x 53mm (W) x 1.6mm (Thickness)
Usage Tip: To ensure the longevity of the sensor board, it is highly recommended to leave the top section of the board (where the connection pads are located) above the soil level to protect it from direct water exposure.
