Moisture Sensor

1. This document describes building a soil moisture sensor system using an Arduino Nano board. It uses an analog soil moisture sensor connected to analog pin 0 to read soil moisture levels. Five LEDs connected to digital pins 2-6 with resistors indicate the moisture level - green for wet, yellow for medium, and red for dry. 2. The Arduino code reads the sensor value and maps it to LED states - all green LEDs on for wet soil, progressively fewer LEDs on as soil drys. It prints the sensor values and delays 1 second between reads. 3. Resistors must be used when connecting the LEDs to the Arduino digital pins to prevent damaging the board or LEDs.

STEP -3 LEDS

***Edit***
Please use resistors when connecting the LEDs to your Arduino!
***Edit***
Connecting the LEDs;
Digital Pin 2 Green.
Digital Pin 3 Green.
Digital Pin 4 Green.

Digital Pin 5 Yellow.


Digital Pin 6 Red.
Connect the cathode or (-) lead from the LED to the Arduino.
**Here you must put a 1k resistor between anode (+) and the positive rail.
Connect the anode or (+) lead from the LED to the + positive rail of the
beadboard. **
