In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how … ...

When your residence has soil moisture sensors embedded that were dictated by your friendly neighborhood HoA, you may start asking questions about the system used. That’s what [Modest Maker] d… ...

As a bonus, we also give you the ambient temperature from the internal temperature sensor on the microcontroller, it’s not high precision, maybe good to + or – 2 degrees Celsius.” ...

Recently, 2-frame interdigital fringe-field (ID-FF)-based capacitive sensors have been widely employed for soil moisture measurement. The present challenge with this design is to achieve both ...

We report the design and installation of a distributed soil moisture sensor network in a riparian zone within the Whitewater Basin in Central Kansas. The soil-moisture monitoring network used in this ...
