    Crash Course: Using the Soil Moisture Sensor

    Objective

    Teach learners how to use the soil moisture sensor to measure soil moisture, and integrate its readings with a TRIOE microcontroller.

    Materials Required

    • Soil Moisture Sensor Module
    • TRIOE
    • Breadboard and jumper wires
    • USB cable for programming the TRIOE
    • Computer with Arduino IDE installed

    Steps

    1Understand the Soil Moisture Sensor

    • The soil moisture sensor measures the moisture content of soil.
    • Pin Description: VCC: Power supply (3.3V or 5V), GND: Ground, AO: Analog output signal.

    2Set Up the Circuit

    • Connect the VCC pin to the TRIOE's 5V.
    • Connect the GND pin to the TRIOE's GND.
    • Connect the AO pin to the TRIOE's analog pin A0.

    3Install the Moisture Sensor Library

    • Open the Arduino IDE.
    • Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries.
    • Search for 'MoistureSensor' and install the library.
    • Also, install the 'MoistureSensor' library, if prompted.
