NiMetAs climate change impacts intensify around the country with erratic rainfall, stakeholders are developing new approaches to mitigation and adaptation to help farmers build resilience.The African ...

The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer capable of running full-fledged Linux distributions such as Raspberry Pi OS, ...

Monitoring soil moisture is an essential aspect of comprehending the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, the cost of commercial sensors often challenges their acquisition. In response to ...

integrated with a low-cost soil moisture monitoring system using the HD38 sensor. Soil moisture was tracked over a 50 cm depth using four capacitive probes. Environmental variables, including ...

The Plant Bot is an open-source, Internet-enabled plant monitor powered by the ESP32-C3 microcontroller and integrating a corrosion-resistant capacitive moisture soil sensor and a pump driver on a ...

Soil moisture sensors (SMS) are devices that measure water content in the soil using technologies like capacitance, resistance, and time-domain reflectometry. Capacitance sensors measure the soil’s ...

The change in dielectric constant due to soil moisture affects the capacitance of the probe, which is then measured to estimate moisture levels. These sensors are less invasive than some other ...

Abstract: Recently, 2-frame interdigital fringe-field (ID-FF)-based capacitive sensors have been widely employed for soil moisture measurement. The present challenge with this design is to achieve ...

This is a capacitive soil moisture sensor which runs with a standalone ATmega328P and utilizes the MySensors framework. It can however be adapted to any other framework that uses 2.4 GHz radio ...
