arduino soil moisture sensor to measure Electrical soil conductivity
massimo.marcon 2012-10-04 00:34:01 5442 Views3 Replies Hello, I'd like to have your feedback about the feasibility of the following idea:
could the DFR arduino soil moisture sensor USED to measure Electrical soil conductivity ALSO?
As matter of fact I read that its working principle is measuring the resistivity between its electrodes, so by finding the proper formula may be possible to measure the soil conductivity...

Hector 2012-11-14 14:06:28 hello Hector,
thanks for reply
do you have available the sensor schematic?
I'd like to check it out to see if with some slight modification I can get this goal massimo.marcon

I'm not sure how to answer your question. But here is a link that might give you a better idea:

It sounds like it might be possible, but the soil should be wet in order for it to work.
