WiFi Enabled Soil Moisture Sensor

thingiverse

UPDATE March 2019: I have created a solar panel module to provide continuous power, further details and printable parts can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3460286. I have also developed a WiFi enabled soil moisture sensor using the D1 Mini, a capacitive sensor, and custom made 3D-printed parts. A video of this project is available at: https://youtu.be/fhIwSXpJTjg. You can find more details including the latest Arduino Sketch and information on how to configure the smart phone app using Blynk on my website: http://www.cabuu.com. To complete this project, you will need several components in addition to the 3D printed parts. These include: WeMos D1 Mini - https://www.banggood.com/D1-Mini-NodeMcu-Lua-WIFI-ESP8266-Development-Board-p-1044858.html?p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=89596. 3.7V 14500 Li-ion Battery - https://www.banggood.com/2pcs-MECO-3_7V-1200mAh-Rechargeable-14500-Li-ion-Battery-p-992719.html?p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=89612.
