## Description

The Octopus Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor uses capacitive sensing to detect soil moisture levels, avoiding the corrosion problems common with resistive sensors for a much longer service life. It outputs an analogue signal proportional to moisture content and is compatible with micro:bit (3 V) and other 3–5.5 V microcontroller boards. Part of the ElecFreaks Octopus series, the sensor uses standard Octopus brick connectors for easy plug-and-play use with the Octopus:bit breakout board. Key Features Capacitive Sensing – Corrosion-resistant design for long service life Analogue Output – Signal proportional to soil moisture level 3–5.5 V Operating Voltage – Compatible with micro:bit and Arduino Octopus Brick Connector – G (GND), V (VCC), S (signal) Specifications SKU – EF04097 Operating Voltage – 3–5.5 V DC Output – Analogue Dimensions – 19 × 76 mm Weight – 5.5 g Ideal For Automated plant watering systems micro:bit and Arduino soil monitoring projects STEM education and garden science experiments Package Contents 1× Octopus capacitive soil moisture sensor Resources MakeCode Example Programme
