Parallax 28092 Moisture Sensor Probe
Parallax 28092 Moisture Sensor Probe is a fork-like physical package that easily inserts into soil or other soft, non-corrosive media. Parallax 28092 Moisture Sensor Probe uses conductivity to detect the amount of moisture between the probes.
The single analog output may be directly connected to the Propeller Activity Board 4-channel A/D converter or easily interfaced with the MCP3002 A/D with a FLiP Multicore Microcontroller. The quickest way to connect these to a microcontroller is using the Parallax 3-pin cables, available in a set or as individual lengths. The Moisture Sensor Probe is ideal for potted plants, micro-farming research, and some non-soil environments.
