Since the sensor uses capacitive rather than resistive measurement, and is made of a corrosion resistant material, it's great for long-term practical use. Insert it into soil and impress your friends with the real-time soil moisture data!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn on-board voltage regulator  is included, which gives an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V. It is compatible with low-voltage MCUs (both 3.3V and 5V logic). To make it compatible with a Raspberry Pi, an ADC converter is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lower-budget, short-term (12 months or less) projects we also have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/smalldevices.com.au\/collections\/micro-bit-accessories\/products\/soil-moisture-monitor\"\u003eresistive soil moisture sensor.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis sensor has a 3-pin \"Gravity\" interface, which means it can be directly connected to the Gravity I\/O Expansion Shield. It comes with an adapter cable, so you can connect it directly to pins or breadboard jumper leads.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The following image shows an example project - a device that notifies you when a plant needs to be watered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/image.dfrobot.com\/image\/data\/SEN0193\/planting.JPG\" width=\"700\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"info_SPECIFICATION \"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Voltage: 3.3 ~ 5.5 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Voltage: 1.2 ~ 2.5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: PH2.0-3P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimension: 98mm * 23mm (3.86in x 0.905in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 15g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"info_DOCUMENTS \"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDOCUMENTATION \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/\/www.dfrobot.com\/wiki\/index.php?title=Capacitive_Soil_Moisture_Sensor_SKU:SEN0193\"\u003eProduct Wiki\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"DFRobot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32901892898948,"sku":"DFR-1385","price":13.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0368\/0337\/9332\/products\/6W4A8521-900x600.jpg?v=1584963057","url":"https:\/\/roboticles.myshopify.com\/products\/gravity-analog-capacitive-soil-moisture-sensor-corrosion-resistant","provider":"roboticles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
