About this item

The SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor Evaluation Board is designed to facilitate the assessment of soil moisture levels in various applications. It features exposed pads that act as probes, functioning as a variable resistor; the conductivity between these pads increases with soil moisture, resulting in a higher signal output. The evaluation board includes a 3-pin screw terminal for easy wiring and setup, making it compatible with Arduino-based devices or other development boards. This sensor is ideal for projects involving plant monitoring, agriculture automation, or environmental sensing, providing a straightforward solution for integrating soil moisture detection into electronic systems.
