Story

Description

We just got to know that the new capacitive sensor is providing greater accuracy in comparison with the old resistive soil moisture measuring sensor. That is why we decided to study both the sensors and find out which one is more better. So let’s begin.

First, we should know about the basic idea about both the sensors.
1. Resistive Soil Moisture sensor:
