Description: Gravity - Analogue water and soil salinity sensor - DFRobot DFR0300-H.
The device allows to measure thesalinity of waters and soilsby examining the inverse of the resistance, which is conductivity. If the salt level is too high, this can lead to the destruction of the plants, and if it is too low, it can mean a nutrient deficiency. Water conductivity may reflect the level of electrolytes present in the water. Depending on their concentration, the conductivity of the water solution varies.
Connection diagram
The meter has been designed for Arduino controllers andhassimple and convenient built-in functions. Connecting the sensor is easy, thanks to the Gravity connector.
