Using a Capacitive Sensor to Measure Soil Moisture

Introduction This tutorial covers how to use the Adafruit STEMMA Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor. This sensor works using the same technology as capacitive touchscreens, which are so effective precisely because the human body contains a large amount of water; water is particularly good at altering the capacitance in the sensor, which makes using capacitance to […]
