Hydro Probe Click based on a capacitive soil moisture sensor that detects the volumetric water content of the soil

Measure soil moisture by detecting changes in capacitance caused by variations in water content

 

Hydro Probe Click is a capacitive soil moisture sensor based on capacitive changes that are used to detect the volumetric water content in the soil. Water detection is achieved by using function oscillator MIC1557 and ADC converter MCP3221 from Microchip, which allow you to convert moisture presents to the digital value. Compared to resistant soil moisture sensors, its capacitive style reduces electrode erosion making it corrosion resistant and a better choice for applications such as soil moisture detection and automatic plant watering.

Besides that, Hydro Probe Click can be used in agriculture usage, household usage for gardeners, research and forecast, and many more.
