The Moisture transmitter for my next project will take 6 weeks to arrive and I will like to begin the ladder logic (AD 260CPU) as soon as possible.
Does anyone here know to build a low cost Moisture transmitter? The project calls for checking the moisture of 15 blocks of an OASIS (the water absorbing foam used by florists)
I need to monitor its moisture content as the Oasis dries up due to the plant absorbing the water in it. An irrigation Pump must be turned on for 10 seconds each time a moisture level is reached.
Any help will be highly appreciated. I have a 4-20ma simulator but I would like to use the real thing or at least as close as possible.
How can I build a Moisture transmitter from Radio Shack parts and built one?
Any ideas?
Thanks
