A frequent beginner project involves measuring soil moisture levels by measuring its resistance with a couple of electrodes. These electrodes are available ready-made as PCBs, but suffer badly from ...

Makers might be interested to know that Adafruit is now stocking a new STEMMA capacitive soil moisture sensor which provides superior enhancements when compared with resistive style soil moisture ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

Soil moisture measurement is fundamental to understanding hydrological processes, crop water dynamics, and broader environmental monitoring. Recent advancements have driven the development of ...

Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...

Recently, I got a Chirp! plant-watering alarm for evaluation from wemakethings. Chirp, designed to be run on a 3-V CR2032 lithium coin cell, is an electronic plant-watering alarm. You put it into the ...
