High Sensitivity​ Water/Moisture Sensor

Description

High Sensitivity​ Water/Moisture Sensor is a probe type analog sensor. It uses the principle of a single point probe to measure, monitor and regulate the level of a free flowing water within a contained space. In addition, it gives an analog output signal which is directly proportional to the water level hence, easy to calibrate. It  also has an advantage of low cost. Besides, it is easy to use. low power consumption, and high sensitivity

It is compatible with Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega, Arduino ADK etc.

With this module, you could easily get water (in fact any conducting liquid) surface level. It is useful in the cases where a warning is needed if liquid in the holder is less than or over certain amount. More conducting surface of this module in the liquid will conduct more electronic charge. That’s how it works.
Another usage of this module is to detect the electroconductivity of liquid.
