Plant-water monitor


Posted on Apr 23, 2012

When the soil is moist, the LED glows. If the moisture falls below a certain predetermined level, the LED begins to flash. If there is still less moisture, the LED turns off. To calibrate, connect the battery and insert the probe into a container of dry soil. Set R1 to its maximum value then reduce that resistance until the LED begins to flash.

The range over which the LED flashes before going out is adjusted using R2.
