Kitronik Mini Prong Soil Moisture Sensor for the BBC micro:bit
Measures how damp the soil is, for plant and garden projects
Kitronik's small sensor with prongs that push into the soil. Three crocodile clip leads join it to the micro:bit's 3V, GND and one of its pins, and the micro:bit reads how damp the soil is. It suits self-watering plant and greenhouse projects, and it is a step up from our free plant moisture lesson, where two leads in the soil do the measuring.
Who it is for: Classes building a plant monitor, a self-watering plant or a greenhouse
