Soil Moisture Sensor HS-S09-LC

1. Introduction

Soil moisture sensors are a type of sensing device, mainly used to detect the size of soil moisture and are widely used in automatic windshield wiper systems, smart lighting systems, and smart sunroof systems, etc.Sensor uses high-quality FR-04 double material, large area of 5.0 * 4.0 cm, nickel plated surface.It has antioxidant, conductivity, and superior durability; The sensitivity is adjusted with a potentiometer; The operating voltage is 3.3 V to 5 V.Output in the form of digital values (0 and 1) and analog AO voltage output, using a LM393 dual voltage comparator, when the sensor is connected to a 5V power supply, no humidity is detected on the sensing board, and the DO output is at a high level.When inserted into soil or water, the DO output is at a low level.If the sensor board is dry, the output will return a high-level state.AO analog output can be connected to the AD interface of the microcontroller to detect the humidity size above.Digital output can also be connected to a microcontroller to detect if there is a water shortage.

Arduino UNO Graphical Example Program:

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(3, INPUT);
  pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(3, INPUT);
}

void loop(){
  //雨滴检测模块接D3，有源蜂鸣器接开发板D6
  //

  //轻轻调节控制板模块背部电位器，土壤湿度感应板检测到湿度的情况下，控制板模块指示蓝灯亮起；
  //土壤湿度感应板干燥情况下，控制板模块指示蓝灯熄灭。
  if (digitalRead(3) == 1) {
    //土壤湿度感应板干燥情况下，输出高电平（1），控制板模块信号指示蓝灯熄灭，蜂鸣器不响。
    digitalWrite(6,LOW);
    Serial.println(String("干燥土壤：") + String(digitalRead(3)));

  } else if (digitalRead(3) == 0) {
    //土壤湿度感应板遇到水或湿润土壤的情况下，输出低电平（0），控制板模块信号指示蓝灯亮起
    digitalWrite(6,HIGH);
    Serial.println(String("湿润土壤：") + String(digitalRead(3)));
  }

}

9. Test conclusion

Arduino UNO Test Conclusion:

In the case of the soil moisture sensor module being powered on, gently adjust the potentiometer on the back of the control board module, the soil moisture detection board detects moisture, and the control board module indicates the blue light to turn on; in the case of the soil moisture detection board being dry, the control board module indicates the blue light to turn off.

After the device is connected to the wires, upload the above program to the Arduino UNO development board, open the serial monitor, insert the soil moisture sensor into the soil or water, and you will see the data change.
