DFRobot Gravity Analogue Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor Corrosion Resistant SEN0193

The DFRobot Gravity Analogue Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor SEN0193 offers precise soil moisture measurement by leveraging capacitive sensing technology, which is more reliable than traditional resistive sensors. The sensor is made of corrosion-resistant materials, increasing durability in soil environments where moisture and minerals can degrade standard sensors.

This sensor operates efficiently across a voltage range of 3.3 to 5.5 volts, making it compatible with a wide variety of low-voltage microcontroller units including both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. The integrated voltage regulator ensures stable sensor output within these voltages.

Designed for easy integration, the sensor supports the DFRobot 3-pin Gravity interface, allowing direct connection to the Gravity I/O Expansion Shield, simplifying prototyping and deployment. Users working with Raspberry Pi platforms will require an ADC converter since the sensor produces an analogue output signal.

Its corrosion-resistant build makes it ideal for extended use in agricultural, environmental, and educational applications where reliable soil moisture data is necessary. This sensor can be deployed to impressively provide real-time soil moisture levels for plant health monitoring, irrigation control, and research.

This sensor employs capacitive sensing technology rather than resistive, reducing corrosion and improving accuracy. Voltage operation range from 3.3V to 5.5V ensures compatibility with various low-voltage logic devices. Includes on-board voltage regulator for stable power supply.

Compatible with DFRobot Gravity 3-pin interface. Requires ADC converter for Raspberry Pi connectivity. Corrosion resistant for extended service life in soil. Perfect for agricultural, educational, and environmental sensor applications.
