The connection to pic microcontroller extremely easy as follows: The pin out soil moisture sensor is given below. But in this tutorial, I am using only the analog output of the sensor module. we get about that as the soil gets drier, we get more voltage at the analog output since the resistance between the probes gets higher we can set a threshold in order to enable the digital output at a certain moisture level using this potentiometer given with electronics part of sensor.
PROTEUS SENSORS HOW TO
Let’s now see how to build this simple project the two large exposed pads function as probes for the sensor the more water in the soil the better the conductivity between the pads that results in a lower resistance the sensor is an analogue one so in the analog output. This is just a demonstration of the sensor I am going to build more useful projects in the future with this sensor. if I pour some water in the cup you will see that the moisture levels rise and we can visually check the moisture levels of the soil of course. we can read a low soil moisture value at 16×2 LCD display. let’s see the project we are going to build today I have one cup with me with dry soil if I place the sensor in the cup. It costs around two dollars.The sensor can measure the levels of moisture in the soil so it can be extremely useful if you want to monitor the soil moisture of your plants or automate the watering procedure. let’s get started and let’s say wanted to use the sensor for a longtime since I find it quite an interesting one the sensor is very cheap. Sometimes I was still there at 8.00 or 9.00pm at night - by then I may not have been at my usual happy self.How to use a very interesting soil moisture sensor with pic microcontroller. We would start at 2.00pm and just keep going until all the students had a fully routed design, as they had to be emailed to the technician to be made for the following week. That PCB layout class used to be my longest class. Once a student accidentally put an IC on the bottom of the PCB and no matter what we all tried we just could not get it to move to the top - which was important as we only made single sided PCBs in-house. It did take me about 10 years to learn how to use Proteus and even at the end it would still do things that I could not understand, or prevent, or even repeat. I preferred EasyPCB, I wonder if this is still going, but I was not the decision maker.
PROTEUS SENSORS FREE
Fortunately the owners of Proteus used to give us about 100 free student licences every year, probably as we spent a fortune on renewing the licence every year, but these only lasted a year. I was always telling my students not to use these as it was basically illegal and also against University policy (to use any unlicensed software).
PROTEUS SENSORS CRACKED
There are many cracked or unlicensed copies of Proteus about. Here are the links to our New Proteus Libraries:
PROTEUS SENSORS DOWNLOAD
Step 1: Links to Download New Proteus Libraries
So, let's get started with these New Proteus Libraries for Engineering Students: So, you can join our You Tube Channel to have a look at these Proteus Libraries. I have also designed their videos in which I have explained in detail How to use these Proteus Libraries.
I am gonna share all those Proteus Libraries in this instructable so that Engineering Students can download them and use them in their Projects. Hello friends, we have designed many Proteus Libraries on our blog The Engineering Projects which are not yet developed and we are really very proud that we are the first designers for these Proteus Libraries.
