Smart Plant Care! Build a Qwiic Soil Moisture Sensor System

Contributors: Chowdah

Hardware Setup

The hardware setup for this project is super straightforward. Attach the Qwiic Soil Moisture Sensor to the Qwiic OLED via a Qwiic Cable and then attach the OLED to the Redboard. We used a 9V battery and 9V battery holder to power this project so that we could keep it portable, but you could use a portable charger or hook it up straight to your computer depending on your use case and availability of parts on hand. We also used some screws and a 3D-printed base plate to keep the display and sensor together, but that is also not necessary. So simple!
