Detailed Description

• ID: moisture
• Name: Analog Moisture Sensor
• Other Names: Grove Moisture Sensor
• Category: liquid
• Manufacturer: seeed
• Connection: analog
• Kit: eak hak

UPM module for the Moisture Sensor. This sensor can be used to detect the moisture content of soil or whether there is water around the sensor. As the moisture content increases, so does the value that is read. Note: this sensor is not designed to be left in soil nor to be used outdoors.

    // Instantiate a Moisture sensor on analog pin A0
    upm::Moisture moisture(0);

    // Values (approximate):
    // 0-300, sensor in air or dry soil
    // 300-600, sensor in humid soil
    // 600+, sensor in wet soil or submerged in water.
    // Read the value every second and print the corresponding moisture level
    while (shouldRun) {
        int val = moisture.value();
        cout << "Moisture value: " << val << ", ";
        if (val >= 0 && val < 300)
            cout << "dry";
        else if (val >= 300 && val < 600)
            cout << "moist";
        else
            cout << "wet";

        cout << endl;

        upm_delay(1);
    }
