This sensor uses conductivity to detect the amount of moisture between the probes. The likely use of this sensor is in potted plants, micro-farming research and with some non-soil environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single analog output may be directly connected to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/z0benv-j1.myshopify.com\/products\/propeller-activity-board-wx?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=32912\u0026amp;_psid=4403a39ba\u0026amp;_ss=e\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePropeller Activity Board\u003c\/a\u003e 4-channel A\/D converter or easily interfaced with the MCP3002 A\/D with a FLiP Multicore Microcontroller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quickest way to connect these to your microcontroller is using the Parallax 3-pin cables, available in a set or as individual lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eMoisture Sensor Probe Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 inch detection depth reaches below the top layer of media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 to 5 volt analog output is easy to read by many controllers or A\/D converters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 inch (22 cm) 3-pin female-female extension cable included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eMoisture Sensor Probe\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003e Ideas:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower and plant soil moisture measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic watering system — combine with the Mini Liquid Level Sensor for a watering system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-soil applications are possible with sponges, damp paper towels and other materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMoisture Sensor Probe Key Specifications:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection depth: 1.5 in (38 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 2.0 V to 5.0 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 0.8 x 2.0 in (20 x 51 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting holes size: 0.8 in (2.0 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot RoHS compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eResource Links\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.parallax.com\/support\/reference\/propeller-blocklyprop-block-reference\/analog-pulses\/voltage\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlocklyProp Block Reference for A\/D blocks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.parallax.com\/courses\/getting-started-with-blocklyprop-solo\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlockyProp online visual programming tool\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53397218558261,"sku":"28092","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/6307\/2821\/files\/2e221fbe-28092c.jpg?v=1787781817","url":"https:\/\/shop.parallax.com\/products\/moisture-sensor-probe","provider":"Parallax Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
