Grove - Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor (Corrosion Resistant)

SKU
101020614

The Grove - Capacitive Moisture Sensor (Corrosion Resistant) is a soil moisture sensor based on capacitance changes. Compared with resistive sensors, capacitive sensors do not require direct exposure to the metal electrodes, which can significantly reduce the erosion of the electrodes.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Grove - Capacitive Moisture Sensor (Corrosion Resistant) is a soil moisture sensor based on capacitance changes. It embeds with the powerful NE555DR which is a precise timing circuit, ideal for capacitive measurement.

Feature

  • Corrosion-resistant design: Capacitive touch measurement system avoids probe oxidization.
  • Powerful ICs embedded: NE555DR manufactured by TI working with built-in amplifier, good for capacitive measurement.
  • Plug-and-play: Grove compatible interface(data transmit) and a long-straight pad function as a probe(data collecting).
  • Starter-friendly: Detail start-up tutorials, abundant resources and projects provided in Wiki and Community.

Description

The Grove - Capacitive Moisture Sensor (Corrosion Resistant) is a soil moisture sensor based on capacitance changes. Compared with resistive sensors, capacitive sensors do not require direct exposure to the metal electrodes, which can significantly reduce the erosion of the electrodes. Hence, we call it Corrosion Resistant.

It is important to note that this sensor can only qualitatively test the humidity of the soil and cannot measure quantitatively. This means when the moisture of the soil rises, the value of the output decreases; conversely, when the humidity decreases, the output value becomes higher.

We have developed more than 400 Grove modules, covering a wide range of applications that can fulfill various needs. Click to explore the Grove Sensor family and get started to Grove your Idea. For all Grove users (especially beginners), we provide you with guidance PDF documents. Please download and read through Preface - Getting Started and Introduction to Grove before your use of the product.

Get Started with Industrial Sensors

SenseCAP S210x series industrial sensors provide an out-of-box experience for environmental sensing. Please refer to the S2105 Wireless Soil Moisture, Temperature, and EC Sensor with higher performance and robustness for soil condition monitoring.

Applications

  • Botanical Gardening
  • Moisture Sensoring
  • Consistency Measurement

Upgrade to Industrial Solutions

With the SenseCAP S2110 controller and S2100 data logger, you can easily turn the Grove into a LoRaWAN® sensor. Seeed not only helps you with prototyping but also offers you the possibility to expand your project with the SenseCAP series of robust industrial sensors.

The IP66 housing, Bluetooth configuration, compatibility with the global LoRaWAN® network, built-in 19 Ah battery, and powerful support from APP make the SenseCAP S210x the best choice for industrial applications. The series includes sensors for soil moisture, air temperature and humidity, light intensity, CO2, EC, and an 8-in-1 weather station. Try the latest SenseCAP S210x for your next successful industrial project.
