Use a capacitive soil moisture sensor (it’s corrosion-resistant). If using a resistive type, power the sensor only during readings (use a transistor or MOSFET controlled by Arduino).

This project implements a semi-automated plant watering system using Java and the Firmata protocol. It reads soil moisture data from a sensor and controls a water pump based on thresholds. The system ...

Skill development Program on “Arduino Based Programming and Embedded System Design” at CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar during 24‐26, October 2025 The Skill Development Program on “Arduino-Based Programming ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

Abstract: Low hysteresis sensing is the development target of next generation moisture sensors. Porous polyimide (PI) sensors based on non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method suffer from ...

This paper presents the design and experimental analysis of a novel, cost-effective, and robust soil moisture sensor based on a non-conventional Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique integrated ...

Amid the rise of sustainable architecture, mass timber has become a powerful symbol of progress — a material that marries renewable design with modern efficiency. Yet, in the damp climate of Vancouver ...

Google's Waymo, Uber and carmakers GM and Mercedes-Benz are among the companies working to put driverless vehicles in showrooms. That competition also should help lower prices that can reach US$75,000 ...
