Moisture Sensor for micro:bit

Product information "Moisture Sensor for micro:bit"

The moisture sensor for micro:bit allows your micro:bit to detect moisture, so if your plant is thirsty you'll know about it! or how about using one and a couple of micro:bits to tell you when your bath has reached the correct level?

To hook this up to your micro bit you will require alligator cables alternatively you can solder headers or a screw terminal to the board to make hooking it up to your other micro controller projects a dream.

mBuild Soil Moisture
There are two typical types of soil moisture sensors, the capacitive one and resistive one. The capacitive type measured the change in capacitance caused by soil moisture to estimate the humidity of the soil . The resistive type is based on measuring the magnitude of the resistance between the two contacts to estimate the soil moisture. The strict definition of soil moisture is the percentage of the mass of water in the soil. Therefore, neither the resistive nor the capacitive type can accurately predict the water content in the soil, but only the reading value, which is positively correlated to the water content. The soil moisture sensor in mBuild is resistive types. When the soil moisture is increased, the water can dissolve the ions contained in part of the soil, so that the resistance of the soil becomes smaller, and therefore the reading value of the soil moisture sensor will become larger. When the water content in the soil is further increased (in the case of extremes, it is imagined to throw some soil into the water), the ion concentration in the soil will be diluted by excess water, resulting in a decrease in electrical conductivity and a high resistance value. Therefore, you will find that the soil moisture sensor will read less in pure water than in wet soil (although the former has a significantly higher water content) because the ion concentration in the moist soil is higher and the resistance is higher. small. Parameters Size: 24×72mm Range value: 0~100 Precision: ±5% Operating current: 14mA

Sensor Board for micro:bit
Description The MonkMakes Sensor Board allows you to detect sound levels, temperature and light levels. It features ring pad connectors for use with crocodile clips make it easy to connect to the board to a microbit. Sound Level:It senses sound level with a MEMs, which is a microphone on a chip that also features a pre-amplifier circuit. You can then use the plot bar graph block in the Microsoft MakeCode editor to display the result on the microbits LED matrix. Temperature Level:The temperature output from the board is a voltage that indicates the temperature. This is then measured using an analog input on the micro:bit. If you want your temperatures in Fahrenheit, then multiply the temperature in degrees C by 9, divide the result by 5 and then add 32. Light Level:The light sensor uses a photo-transistor to measure the light level and produces an output voltage that increases as the light level increases. It has 3V and GND connectors on both sides of the board which make it possible to power another board, such as the Relay Board or Powered Speaker Board. Features: 3V and GND connections can be made from either side and allow you to power a second board such as the MonkMakes Relay Board or MonkMakes Speaker. LED ‘power on’ indicator. Reverse polarity protection. All three sensors are analog and can be connected to pins P0, P1 and P2 using alligator clips. Detects sound level with a MEMs (microphone on a chip) and a pre-amplifier. Uses a thermistor to measure temperature. Light level detection with a photo-transistor (0 to 1023). All three sensors are analog and can be connected to pins P0, P1 and P2 using alligator clips. Contents: 1 x MonkMakes Sensor Board for the BBC micro:bit.
