Moisture Sensor for micro:bit

The moisture sensor designed for the micro:bit empowers your micro:bit to detect moisture effectively. You'll instantly know if your plant is in need of water! Moreover, you can use this sensor along with a couple of micro:bits to monitor when your bath water reaches the right level. To connect this sensor to your micro:bit, you can use alligator cables. Alternatively, you can solder headers or attach a screw terminal to the board, making it a breeze to integrate into your other microcontroller projects. There's also sample plant watering code in Micropython available.

Using the moisture sensor is easy. First, connect it to your micro:bit. You can use alligator cables for a quick setup, or if you prefer a more permanent connection, solder headers or add a screw terminal to the board. To check your plant's moisture, simply place the sensor near the plant's roots. For bath water level monitoring, position the sensor in a suitable place in the bathtub. When using alligator cables, make sure they are firmly attached to avoid loose connections. Keep the sensor clean and dry when not in use. If you are soldering, be careful with the hot iron and follow basic soldering safety rules. This will help ensure the sensor works well for a long time.
