Kitronik 56107 BBC Micro:bit Soil Moisture Sensor for BBC Micro bit

The Kitronik Mini Prong soil sensor is a short version of the original Prong sensor that has been specially adapted for use with the Kitronik Greenhouse Kit for BBC micro: bit. The Mini Prong soil moisture sensor for BBC microbit is a sensor board that can be connected to a BBC micro: bit with crocodile clips to monitor the moisture present in the soil. The two conductive tines are placed into the soil. Any water or moisture in the soil will conduct to give an analogue voltage that can be read by the BBC micro: bit. Mini Prong is powered from the 3V supply of the BBC micro: bit. Use either the USB or JST connector on the BBC micro: bit to power the circuit. The board has been designed to work with croc-clips, to connect between the Mini Prong and the BBC micro: bit.
