Description

The device Capacitive Soil Sensor by Soldered monitors soil moisture by detecting changes in capacitance between the soil and a coated conductive electrode. Unlike resistive soil sensors, the design does not use exposed metal electrodes inserted into the soil, reducing corrosion and allowing long-term moisture monitoring.

The sensor provides an analog voltage signal through the AOUT pin. The output voltage increases as soil moisture rises, allowing the signal to be read using an analog input of a microcontroller. The module can be used with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other platforms equipped with a suitable analog-to-digital converter or an external ADC.

Pinout of Soldered Capacitive Soil Sensor

The board can be powered from a 3.3V–5.5V supply. It provides three connections: VCC, AOUT, and GND. The board uses a GS358-SR IC, while the sensing section consists of a single coated probe. The sensor can be used in plant monitoring systems, automatic watering systems, and projects that record changes in soil moisture.

The board measures 109 × 22mm, while the sensing area is approximately 60mm long. The 3.2mm mounting hole is compatible with M3 screws. The manufacturer also provides hardware documentation and PCB design files.
