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.
Sample code:
- Plant watering code (micropython)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- MicroPython
- A version of the Python programming language made to run on microcontrollers. It matters because it lets beginners write readable code to control LEDs, sensors, motors and displays without needing to start with lower-level languages.
