This project implements a semi-automated plant watering system using Java and the Firmata protocol. It reads soil moisture data from a sensor and controls a water pump based on thresholds. The system ...

Use a capacitive soil moisture sensor (it’s corrosion-resistant). If using a resistive type, power the sensor only during readings (use a transistor or MOSFET controlled by Arduino).

This paper presents the design and experimental analysis of a novel, cost-effective, and robust soil moisture sensor based on a non-conventional Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique integrated ...

Abstract: During the solder reflow process thermal stresses are induced in a plastic-encapsulated IC package due to the mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the plastic ...
