This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

If you are designing your own intelligent “Graden Computer” with an optional digital plant moisture sensor/water pump controller that lights an LED to alert the user when it is time to water a potted ...

My shed is mostly done, which means I'm moving onto other projects that look a lot like landscaping. Lawns, gardens, etc. I want to be efficient in my watering, and potentially even lazy and have ...

My perennials always died because I watered them too little or too much, or put them somewhere too dark or too hot. Recently I vowed to keep my plants alive, so I turned to Arduino. I'd been looking ...

It’s not infrequent that we see the combination of moisture sensors and water pumps to automate plant maintenance. Each one has a unique take on the idea, though, and solves problems in ways that ...

If your precious plants keep mysteriously dying no matter what you try, it might be time to invest in a soil moisture meter. These handy devices tell you when your plant needs more water, so you won't ...

A new Kickstarter campaign has been launched this week by Richard Seymour to raise the funds he requires to create a NB-IoT BLE Gateway and Soil Sensor. Using an Arduino shield extension board ...

Approximately 70% of the world’s available drinking water is used by agriculture. Therefore, it makes total sense to consider technology options for optimizing agricultural water use.

Soil moisture sensors are cheap and easy to interface with, to the point that combining one with an Arduino and blinking an LED when your potted plant is feeling a bit parched is a common beginners ...
