<p>A sensor cover for the Adafruit Stemma Soil Sensor:<br><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/4026">https://www.adafruit.com/product/4026</a><br><br>Snaps Together nicely no glue needed. &nbsp;I print in PETg for outdoor durability.<br><br>Logo on top (for those of you wondering) is for Team 4160 for which I am a mentor.<br><br>This is a part that is useful to create a home garden sensor that logs and graphs data.<br>Really Cool Live data from mine:<br><a href="https://io.adafruit.com/ewr2san/dashboards/home-garden">https://io.adafruit.com/ewr2san/dashboards/home-garden</a><br><br>This soil sensor together with an RPI 2040 aka Pico, Airlift Board, a DHT 22, and the Adafruit IO site to graph and see live temperature and sensor data:<br>See Live data from my Garden (I have 2 Soil sensors attached with this code <a href="https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden_Home.py">https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden_Home.py</a><a href="https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden_Home.py>"> </a>).<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Steps to setup your sensor:<br>You will need to create an Adafruit IO account, to log the data. &nbsp;Create feeds (temp, humidity, soil). &nbsp;Setup your board to run CircuitPython with the required libraries(adafruit_dht, busio, digitalio, adafruit_esp32, seesaw). Put the Pico_Garden.py code on the board, and the secrets.py. &nbsp; Then edit the secrets.py file to setup your WiFi and Adafruit account.<br><br><br>Fritzing Sketch of connecting it all together:<br><a href="https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden_Fritzing.png">https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden_Fritzing.png</a><br><br>Single Stemma Sensor CircuitPython Code, which is what most people will use:<br><a href="https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden.py">https://github.com/mperino/GardenSensor/blob/main/Pico_Garden.py</a><br><br>&nbsp;</p>
