Moisture Monitor

thingiverse

I took the next step to improve my gardening skills by creating a monitor that makes it easy to see the soil moisture of my kitchen herbs so I won't forget to water them. The inside features an Arduino Nano, an RGB LED, and a 0.96-inch OLED display on some connectors soldered onto a blank circuit board for easy removal in the future. I connected a moisture sensor from the Arduino Grove series to do serious soil monitoring. To make it more waterproof, I measured out the enclosure and printed a pretty one using standard items that should be easily reproducible. I also uploaded the Arduino code I created to display the moisture value. The LED on top serves as a quick indicator for watering needs (red indicates dryness, green means perfect, and blue signals mermaids ahead). I hope this project is useful for gardening projects or reproduction. If questions arise or I forgot something, I'm happy to help.
