Indoor plants are notoriously tricky to keep healthy and alive, especially in winter. You're attempting to replicate a complex and naturally accommodating biome inside your home. Plants that thrive in ...

Leveraging tools from seismology — the study of earthquakes and the inside of our planet — the Earth Rover Program aims to provide critical data on the health of soil. Humans, and terrestrial life in ...

Dirt. For millennia, the dark, rich soil underlying farms and gardens worldwide has been central to human survival. It’s also a lot more complex than it looks. Within every clump of soil lies an ...

CU Boulder Today—A team of University of Colorado Boulder researchers is making reliable, inexpensive and easy-to-deploy sensors that monitor soil in real time as it, essentially, breathes in and out.

Designed by Nova Radio Labs in the US, the Novaduino Environmental Sensor Kit is an Arduino-programmable air quality and weather monitoring solution built around the company’s own Novaduino Display ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Calibrate your sensor for your specific soil type. Record sensor values for “dry” and “fully wet” conditions and adjust thresholds in code. Optionally, use the map() function to create a more accurate ...

Confirm 5V supply is reaching the sensor. Replace the A0 pin connection with another analog pin and update it in code. Check if the sensor’s AOUT pin is functional.
