Simple Automatic Plant Watering Circuit for Monitoring Soil Moisture
This automatic plant watering circuit can be used for automatically sensing soil humidity and triggering a water pump when the ground gets parched below a predetermined level (adjustable). Circuit Operation The circuit is rather straightforward and uses a single IC 555 as the main active component.Referring to the automatic plant irrigation circuit shown below we […]
Deep Soil Metal Detector Circuit – Ground Scanner
In this post I have explained a simple deep under soil metal detector circuit for evaluating hidden metals such as gold, iron, tin, brass etc by detecting change in the resistance of the relevant soil layers. Bigger physical objects which might be buried within the topsoil could be unveiled through a modification in the electrical […]
