You only have to comment the parts that you do not need based on my comments in the script.
The script is prepared for arduino eps8266 and esp32 microcontroller boards.
The esp8266 is used to read the analog signal produced by a soil moisture sensor probe.
Wireless soil moisture probe with helium and dfrobot.
You can now access the web side on the esp32 sensor.
Such sensors contain two exposed probes that are inserted directly into the soil sample.
Arduino ide to open lorasensor lorasensor ino connect the soil moisture sensor to pc through the download line and press the moisture sensor on the serial port welding plate with your hand on the other end.
To simply put it resistive soil moisture sensor work by using the relationship between electrical resistance and water content to gauge the moisture levels of the soil.
No data is send to the cloud.
The data is then used to determine the color of a blinking rgb led.
The soil moisture sensor measures soil moisture grace to the changes in electrical conductivity of the earth soil resistance increases with drought.
Arduino code to read the analog value of the soil moisture sensor the following arduino script reads the analog sensor value of the soil moisture sensor.
