![]() As I said earlier this capacitive sensor by the DFROBOT is made of corrosion-resistant material which gives it excellent service life. This is a soil moisture sensor that measures soil moisture levels by capacitive sensing rather than resistive sensing like other sensors on the market. ![]() I would appreciate your support in this way!Ībout the Capacitive soil moisture sensor V1.2: I may make a commission if you buy the components through these links. Without any further delay let’s get started!!! Amazon Links: Capacitive soil moisture sensor Arduino Programming.Capacitive soil moisture sensor interfacing with Arduino.Capacitive soil moisture sensor technical specification.Read my articles on Arduino-based Hydroponics System and Arduino-based NPK Sensor for Soil Nutrients Monitoring. I will cover more technical things about the capacitive soil moisture sensor in a minute. While on the other hand the capacitive soil moisture sensor is made up of the corrosion resistant material. The Resistive type soil moisture sensors are easily subjected to corrosion. In my previous tutorials, I used Resistive type soil moisture sensors which were not durable. I have been using soil moisture sensors with Arduino Uno and Nodemcu ESP8266 Wifi module for monitoring the soil moisture in real-time from anywhere around the world. A 12volt dc water pump is controlled as the soil moisture increases or decreases below a certain pre-defined value. The soil moisture is monitored in real-time. Capacitive soil moisture sensor Arduino code explanation:Ĭapacitive Soil Moisture Sensor Arduino– In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor v1.2 with Arduino and display the Soil Moisture value on a 16×2 i2c LCD module.Capacitive soil moisture sensor V1.2 Arduino Code / Programming:.Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor Working Principle:.Capacitive Soil Moisture Specification:.About the Capacitive soil moisture sensor V1.2:.It has a wide range of temperatures such as –454 to 2,300F.Īdafruit_SSD1306 display = Adafruit_SSD1306(128, 64, &Wire, -1) ĭisplay.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C) These K-type thermocouples (Nickel-Chromium / Nickel-Alumel) are less costly, more accurate, more reliable, and the most common type thermocouple. We use K Type Thermocouple with MAX6675 module. ![]() There are eight different types of thermocouples currently in the market with respect to their material. By measuring the value of this current or EMF the user can easily find out the temperature of that specific place. The value of this EMF or current also depends on thermocouple metal material as well as the temperature of both ends. ![]() Similarly, if both ends are at different temperature level then the EMF would generate and current will be also flowing in the whole circuit. So the net current in the whole circuit would be also zero. In this condition, if both ends would be at the same temperature level then there would be no EMF generated. When this unknown temperature end is placed at that place where we want to measure the temperature. Temperature of the reference end is known but the measuring end is unknown. Remember, two junctions are necessary for making any thermocouple. They are called ‘measuring end’ and ‘reference end’. According to the figure above, two different metals such as metal A and B are connected together for making two junctions.
