Objective
This experiment demonstrates the use of sensors to detect nutrient levels in soil.
Components Required
- Soil Nutrient Sensor
- Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
- Jumper wires
- Breadboard
Working Principle
The soil nutrient sensor detects the levels of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil by measuring electrical conductivity.
Circuit Diagram
Code
/* * Soil Nutrient Detection * This code reads soil nutrient levels from the soil sensor. */ const int sensorPin = A0; // Soil sensor connected to analog pin A0 int sensorValue = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication } void loop() { sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); // Read the sensor value Serial.print("Soil Nutrient Level: "); Serial.println(sensorValue); delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second before the next reading }
Results
The serial monitor will display the nutrient level readings.
Applications
- Agriculture and farming
- Soil quality monitoring
- Environmental studies
