A frequent beginner project involves measuring soil moisture levels by measuring its resistance with a couple of electrodes. These electrodes are available ready-made as PCBs, but suffer badly from ...

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] did and ...

Soil moisture profile measurements are an integral component of water balance estimation networks, especially in thick vadose zones and fine-grained soil environments. At field sites with silty and ...

Makers might be interested to know that Adafruit is now stocking a new STEMMA capacitive soil moisture sensor which provides superior enhancements when compared with resistive style soil moisture ...

Yongkun, Madhur, and Anupam's work on biodegradable soil moisture sensors was published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering! This research was carried out in collaboration with Raj Khosla's ...

A lab-on-a-chip is basically a very small device that can perform laboratory functions on a very small scale, often at the size of a single chip. They are designed to be portable, cost-effective and ...

Measuring soil moisture with time-domain reflectometry (TDR) sensors can aid in turfgrass water conservation efforts and help improve playing conditions. However, information is lacking on the ...

Recently, I got a Chirp! plant-watering alarm for evaluation from wemakethings. Chirp, designed to be run on a 3-V CR2032 lithium coin cell, is an electronic plant-watering alarm. You put it into the ...
