This project develops a real-time soil moisture monitoring and automated irrigation system. It pairs FC‑28 capacitive soil moisture sensors with XBee S2C Pro modules and Arduino microcontrollers to ...

The calibration process involved comparing data from capacitive sensors with soil moisture content measured continuously by the volumetric water content (VWC) method. The results showed that sensor ...

Like this low-power soil sensor project and the custom controller for six soil sensors, [rbaron’s] w-parasite uses a “parasitic capacitive” moisture sensor to determine if it’s time to ...

I'd probably use one module to run 5 or 6 sensors, conformal coated and buried. I'll do some shallow trenching for wires, and mark the sensor locations somehow so I don't mow over them.

We use the built in capacitive touch measurement system built into the ATSAMD10 chip, which will give you a reading ranging from about 200 (very dry) to 2000 (very wet).

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...
