Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor

Product overview

A capacitive soil moisture sensor is a type of sensor commonly used to measure the volumetric water content in soil. It operates based on the capacitance changes in the sensor's electrodes caused by variations in soil moisture. These sensors are often used in agriculture, gardening, and automated irrigation systems to monitor soil moisture levels. Here's a basic overview and example code for interfacing a capacitive soil moisture sensor with Arduino:

Components :

Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor : This type of sensor typically has two or more electrodes that come in contact with the soil.

Arduino Board : Any Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano) can be used for this project.
