The Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor v2.0 measures soil moisture by capacitance instead of exposed metal probes. Because no metal is in contact with the soil, it does not corrode like resistive sensors and lasts much longer – the best choice for automatic plant watering and smart agriculture projects.
| Sensing | Capacitive (no exposed electrodes) |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 3.3V – 5.5V |
| Output | Analog, 0 – 3V |
| Connections | 3-pin: VCC, GND, AOUT |
What is the operating voltage?
3.3V – 5.5V.
Capacitive or resistive – which is better?
Capacitive lasts much longer because it does not corrode.
Can I bury the whole board?
Insert only up to the marked line; keep the electronics at the top dry.
Can I buy the Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor V2.0 in Kanpur?
Yes – buy online with delivery across India, or pick it up from the iTechBuilders store, Damodar Nagar, Kanpur.
