keyestudio Micro bit Honeycomb Soil Sensor

The keyestudio Micro bit Honeycomb Soil Sensor is an easy-to-use moisture sensor designed specifically for micro:bit projects. It is ideal for students, educators, and hobbyists looking to build smart gardening systems and learn about environmental sensing. This compact board makes it simple to introduce physical computing concepts in the classroom or at home.

Smart watering projects

Create your own automatic watering system to keep your plants healthy when you are away. This sensor detects soil moisture levels in real time, letting you know exactly when your plants need water.

Crocodile clip connection

The board is designed for quick and solderless prototyping. You can easily connect the sensor to your micro:bit control board using standard crocodile clip wires.

Seamless microbit integration

This honeycomb-shaped sensor is fully compatible with the micro:bit control board. It provides an engaging, hands-on way to teach coding and environmental science.

Analogue control port

The sensor outputs data via an analogue port, allowing for precise soil moisture measurement. It operates on a low working voltage of DC 3.0V to 3.3V.

Compact and lightweight design

Measuring just 22mm by 59mm by 3mm and weighing only 2.5g, this RoHS-compliant sensor fits easily into small plant pots. A dedicated wiki tutorial is available to help you get started.
