Soil Moisture Monitoring using ESP8266 and Soil Moisture Sensor

Hey folks

In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface LM393 module(Soil Moisture Sensor)with NodeMcu(ESP8266). LM393 is a simple water sensor can be used to detect soil moisture when the soil moisture deficit module plant waterer device, so that the plants in our garden without people to manage; Adjustable sensitivity adjust the digital potentiometer (shown in blue) Operating Voltage 3.3V-5V; Module Dual Output mode, a simple.

LM393 Soli Moisture Sensor Module(over view) 


Components Required:
  • LM393 Soil Sensor 
  • NodeMcu(ESP8266) 
  • Connecting wires(male to male) 
  • Breadboard 
Follow the Image below for circuit connection reference:-

(Interfacing all components) 

Here Pin A0 of the moisture sensor module connects to pin A0 on the ESP8266
The GND pin on the moisture sensor module connects to a GND pin on the ESP8266
The VCC pin on the moisture sensor module connects to a 3v3 pin on the ESP8266
D0 pin remain disconnected

After making the circuit dump the code given below:-

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
const char* ssid = "Enter SSID";
const char* password = "Enter password";
const int redPin = 4; // ~D2

After dumping the code we can check our output in the serial monitor as well as in the URL shown below:-

Getting Started with Arduino

What is Arduino? Arduino is basically an open source electronics platform which is having easy to use hardware and software implementation. It’s a micro-controller interfaced with other vital components like programmer ICs, voltage regulator etc. With the help of this, we can interface various input (sensors) and output (LED's) components. Why Arduino? Arduino is not just a micro-controller it is also interfaced with several other components which make the job of the user very simple. Arduino Uno Pin-Out How Arduino works? An input of 5v is given to the board using a USB cable (not necessary) through a laptop or any other convenient power source. Microcontrollers are usually programmed through a programmer unless we have a firmware in our microcontroller that allows installing new firmware without any external programmer. This is bootloader. All the controllers present in UNO are from ATMEL Semiconductor (Now acquired by Microchip). We hav...
