A frequent beginner project involves measuring soil moisture levels by measuring its resistance with a couple of electrodes. These electrodes are available ready-made as PCBs, but suffer badly from ...

Makers might be interested to know that Adafruit is now stocking a new STEMMA capacitive soil moisture sensor which provides superior enhancements when compared with resistive style soil moisture ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

Yongkun, Madhur, and Anupam's work on biodegradable soil moisture sensors was published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering! This research was carried out in collaboration with Raj Khosla's ...

Capacitive sensors work by detecting the change of capacitance introduced by the finger touching near the electrode. Such change is so small that detecting it unambiguously is challenging, and has ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...
