<p><span style=”font-size:18px;”><span style=”font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;”><strong>Introduction</strong></span></span><br />
<span style=”font-size:14px;”><span style=”font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;”>Our&nbsp;soil moisture sensor&nbsp;measures soil moisture levels by capacitive sensing rather than resistive sensing like other sensors on the market. It is made of corrosion-resistant material which gives it an excellent service life. Insert it into the soil around your plants and impress your friends with real-time soil moisture data! This module includes an on-board voltage regulator which gives it an operating voltage range of 3.3 ~ 5.5V. It is perfect for low-voltage MCUs, both 3.3V and 5V. For compatibility with a Raspberry Pi, it will need an ADC converter. This soil moisture sensor is compatible with our 3-pin &quot;Gravity&quot; interface, which can be directly connected to the Gravity I/O expansion shield.</span></span><br />
