Product Description
Kitronik 5647 Prong Soil Moisture Sensor for BBC Micro Bit is a compact electronic add-on module designed to measure moisture content in soil through analogue voltage detection. It is powered from the 3V supply output of a BBC Micro:bit device, supporting use in STEM education, agricultural monitoring, and environmental sensing projects.
The device consists of two conductive tines which, when inserted into soil, detect moisture through electrical conductivity variations. The sensed analogue voltage can be read by the BBC Micro:bit's analog input to determine moisture levels.
The sensor board is designed for easy attachment to the BBC Micro:bit with three mounting points compatible with M3 screws and nuts, or alternatively can be connected using croc-clip leads. Power supply options include the USB or JST connector on the BBC Micro:bit, or via an external Mi:Power board to create a compact, standalone monitoring unit.
This sensor module is ideal for constructing soil moisture monitoring systems in educational, industrial laboratory setups, and small-scale agricultural projects where moisture sensing is critical for plant health management.
The sensor detects soil moisture by measuring electrical conductivity between two prongs. Directly mounts onto BBC Micro:bit board via standard M3 hardware or croc-clip connection. Powered from BBC Micro:bit's 3V supply; supports USB, JST, or Mi:Power board input.
Enables real-time soil moisture monitoring for STEM, agricultural, and environmental applications. Compact design facilitates integration in portable and field devices.
The package does not include the BBC Micro:bit itself, which must be sourced separately. This add-on enables enhanced sensing capabilities to expand the functionality of BBC Micro:bit microcontroller projects.
