Moisture Detector

[abharm]

Do research on a small form-factor moisture probe that can interface with the I/O of a raspberry pi or teensy over serial or I2c.

Deliverable: Find a couple options for the probe and I will order the best one. Once the probe has been ordered, get it working using a spare teensy from the payload section in the cabinet.

Step 1: Do research on probe, start figuring out how to get a reading from it using a microcontroller

This is a rough sketch of what the moisture probe could be attached to. Since the moisture probe is about 23mm x 100mm, I made the frame slightly bigger at 120mm x 30mm. What I had in mind is using a servo hammer to hook the probe to the servo. The probe would sit perpendicular to the servo hammer, and the servo would rotate about 90 degrees so that the probe would be inserted into the ground that way. My only concern is if there is enough space for a perpendicular orientation of the moisture probe attached to the servo.
