Project 18: Soil Humidity Sensor

Introduction:
This is a simple soil humidity sensor aims to detect the soil humidity. If the soil is in lack of water,
the analog value output by the sensor will decrease, otherwise, it will increase. If you use this
sensor to make an automatic watering device, it can detect whether your botany is thirsty to
prevent it from withering when you go out. Using the sensor with Arduino controller makes your
plant more comfortable and your garden smarter.

41
keyestudio new sensor kit for Arduino starters
The soil humidity sensor module is not as complicated as you might think, and if you need to
detect the soil in your project , it will be your best choice.
The sensor is set with two probes inserted into the soil, then with the current go through the soil,
the sensor will get resistance value by reading the current changes between the two probes and
convert such resistance value into moisture content. The higher moisture (less resistance), the
higher conductivity the soil has.
The surface of the sensor have undergone metallization process to prolong its service life. Insert it
into the soil and then use the AD converter to read it. With the help of this sensor, the plant can
remind you: I need water.

Specification:
Power Supply Voltage: 3.3V or 5V
Working Current: ≤ 20mA
Output Voltage: 0-2.3V (When the sensor is totally immersed in water, the
voltage will be 2.3V) 5V power supply，the higher humidity, the higher the output voltage
Packaging : Electrostatic bag sealing
Sensor type: Analog output

Project 19: Infrared Obstacle Avoidance

Sensor

Introduction:
Infrared obstacle avoidance sensor is equipped with distance adjustment function and is especially
designed for wheeled robots. This sensor has strong adaptability to ambient light and is of high
precision. It has a pair of infrared transmitting and receiving tube. When infrared ray launched by
the transmitting tube encounters an obstacle (its reflector), the infrared ray is reflected to the
receiving tube, and the indicator will light up; the signal output interface outputs digital signal. We
can adjust the detection distance through the potentiometer knob ( effective distance: 2～40cm,
working Voltage: 3.3V-5V ). Thanks to a wide voltage range, this sensor can work steadily even
under fluctuating power supply voltage and is suitable for the use of various
micro-controllers, Arduino controllers and BS2 controllers. A robot mounted with the sensor
can sense changes in the environment.

Project 28: Pulse Rate Monitor

Introduction:
This module uses a ultra-bright infrared (IR) LED and a phototransistor to detect the pulse in your
finger. The red LED then flashes in time with your pulse.
Working principle: Shine the bright LED onto one side of your finger while the
phototransistor on the other side of your finger picks up the amount of transmitted light. The
resistance of the phototransistor will vary slightly as the blood pulses through your finger.

66
keyestudio new sensor kit for Arduino starters

Sample Code：
The program for this project is quite tricky to get right. Indeed, the first step is not to run the entire
final script, but rather a test script that will gather data that we can then paste into a spreadsheet
and chart to test out the smoothing algorithm (more on this later).
The test script is provided in Listing Project 12.
int ledPin = 13;
int sensorPin = 0;
double alpha = 0.75;
int period = 20;
double change = 0.0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop()
{
static double oldValue = 0;
static double oldChange = 0;
int rawValue =
analogRead(sensorPin);
double value = alpha * oldValue
+ (1 - alpha) * rawValue;
Serial.print(rawValue);

67
keyestudio new sensor kit for Arduino starters
Serial.print(―,‖);
Serial.println(value);
oldValue = value;
delay(period);
}
This script reads the raw signal from the analog input and applies the smoothing function and then
writes both values to the Serial Monitor, where we can capture them and paste them into a
spreadsheet for analysis. Note that the Serial Monitor‘scommunications is set to its fastest rate to
minimize the effects of the delays caused by sending the data. When you start the Serial Monitor,
you will need to change the serial speed to 115200 baud.
Copy and paste the captured text into a spreadsheet. The resultant data and a line chart drawn from
the two columns are shown in Figure 5-17. The more jagged trace is from the raw data read from
the analog port, and the smoother trace clearly has most of the noise removed. If the smoothed
trace shows significant noise—in particular, any false peaks that will confuse
the monitor—increase the level of smoothing by decreasing the value of alpha.
Once you have found the right value of alpha for your sensor arrangement, you can transfer this
value into the real sketch and switch over to using the real sketch rather than the test sketch. The
real sketch is provided in the following listing on the next page.
int ledPin = 13;
int sensorPin = 0;
double alpha = 0.75;
int period = 20;
double change = 0.0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop()
{
static double oldValue = 0;
static double oldChange = 0;
int rawValue =
analogRead(sensorPin);
double value = alpha * oldValue
+ (1 - alpha) * rawValue;
Serial.print(rawValue);

68
keyestudio new sensor kit for Arduino starters
Serial.print(―,‖);
Serial.println(value);
oldValue = value;
delay(period);
}
LISTING PROJECT 12—TEST SCRIPT
There now just remains the problem of detecting the peaks. Looking at Figure 5-17, we can see
that if we keep track of the previous reading, we can see that the readings are gradually increasing
until the change in reading flips over and becomes negative. So, if we lit the LED whenever the
old change was positive but the new change was negative, we would get a brief pulse from the
LED at the peak of each pulse. Putting It All Together Both the test and real sketch for Project 12
are in your Arduino Sketchbook. For instructions on downloading it to the board, see Chapter 1.
As mentioned, getting this project to work is a little tricky. You will probably find that you have to
get your finger in just the right place to start getting a pulse. If you are having trouble, run the
test script as described previously to check that your detector is getting a pulse and the smoothing
factor alpha is low enough

Project 29: Reed Switch Module

Introduction:
Reed Switch is a special switch and a main component for reed relay and proximity switch. Reed
switch is usually comprised of two soft magnetic material and metal reed contacts which will
disconnect itself when there is no magnetic. In addition, some reed switches are also equipped
with another reed acting as the third normally-closed contact. These reed contacts are encapsulated
in a glass tube full of inert gases(such as nitrogen and helium) or in a vacuum glass tube. The
reeds encapsulated in the glass tube are placed in parallel with ends overlapped. Certain amount of
space or mutual contaction will be reserved so as to constitute the normally-open or
normally-closed contacts of the switch.
Reed switch can be used as sensor for count, limit and other purposes. For instance, a kind of
bike-kilometer is constituted by sticking magnetic to the tire and mounting reed switch aside. We
can mount reed switch on the door for alarming purpose or as switches.
Reed switch has been widely applied in household appliances, cars, communication, industry,
healthcare and security areas. Furthermore, it can also be applied to other sensors and electric
devices such as liquidometer, door magnet, reed relay, oil level sensor and proximity
sensor(magnetic sensor). It can be used under high-risk environment.

trusty photoresistor without adding complexity to your project. When that day comes, go get
yourself a TEMT6000 ambient light sensor.
The TEMT6000 is supposed to be adapted to the sensitivity of the human eye, but I found it
preformed sub-par in low light conditions. It does however work very well reacting to very small
changes in a large range of brightnesses. Because it is meant to mimic the human eye, it does not
react well to IR or UV light, so just make sure to note that when considering using it in your
project.

Specification：
Supply Voltage: +5VDC 50mA

keyestudio new sensor kit for Arduino starters
Size: 36.5*16mm
Weight: 4g

Connection Diagram:
This is an incredibly simple part, just connect power and ground, and the signal pin to your
favorite analog input and you are done, the sensor will output analog voltage, that ramps up when
it gets brighter. You can power this off of 3.3v if you would like, the output value will just be
lower.

Sample Code：
You can not get more simple than this – This just reports the reading from the sensor to the serial
terminal: 0-1023 with 1023 being very bright, and 0 being very dark.

int temt6000Pin = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int value = analogRead(temt6000Pin);
Serial.println(value);
delay(100); //only here to slow down the output so it is easier to read
}
