## Overview

The SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor is a minimalist, easy-to-use breakout board designed to measure soil moisture via variable resistance between two gold-coated probes. Featuring a pre-soldered 3-pin screw terminal for quick Arduino integration, it delivers consistent, real-time moisture readings while its corrosion-resistant ENIG finish enhances durability in wet conditions. Ideal for gardening, agriculture, and environmental monitoring, this sensor empowers professionals to optimize plant health with precision and ease.

## Description

The SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor is a simple breakout for measuring the moisture in soil and similar materials. The soil moisture sensor is pretty straightforward to use. The two large, exposed pads function as probes for the sensor, together acting as a variable resistor. The more water that is in the soil means the better the conductivity between the pads will be, resulting in a lower resistance and a higher SIG out. This version of the Soil Moisture Sensor includes a 3-pin screw pin terminal pre-soldered to the board for easy wiring and setup. To get the SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor functioning, all you will need is to connect the VCC and GND pins to your Arduino-based device (or compatible development board). You will receive a SIG out, which will depend on the amount of water in the soil. One commonly known issue with soil moisture senors is their short lifespan when exposed to a moist environment. To combat this, we’ve had the PCB coated in gold finishing (ENIG, or Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold). Note: Check the Hookup Guide @ SparkFun for assembly and weatherproofing instructions, as well as a simple example project that you can put together yourself!

Review: Seems to work well out of the box. Gives consistent readings which is pretty important. When I used it on 5v, I got readings in coco coir between around 700 and 900 while the actual range of the device is something like 0 - 999 so I wasn't really expecting that, but that's not a bad thing. It is very well put together. The leads are really nice for not having to solder anything. You can find instructions on how to configure it on the SparkFun website. Had it up and running in 2 minutes.
Review: This kind of sensor will only last you a season or two because of the exposed electrodes. If you want a longer lasting solution use the capacitive style sensors. These works have worked just fine for weeks in an outdoor setting. Use some conformal spray on your screws if it’ll be outdoor so they don’t oxidize
