Moisture Meter

Purpose: Measures moisture content in materials like soil, wood, or grains.

Types:

• Resistive: Uses two probes to measure electrical resistance (higher resistance = drier).
• Capacitive: Measures dielectric constant without direct contact.

Common Applications:

• Agriculture (soil moisture monitoring)
• Construction (wood/drywall inspection)
• Food processing (grain, feed)

Key Components:

• Probes/sensors
• Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
• Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, ESP32)
• Display (LCD or LED)

Tips:

• Calibrate for specific material.
• Avoid prolonged probe exposure in corrosive soils.
• Use stainless steel probes for durability.
