9.Soil Moisture Alarm

##Case Description

Designed for agricultural soil to prevent crop mold and decay caused by prolonged high soil moisture. This device acts like a night watchman. The sensor part of the device is inserted into the soil, and when excessively high soil moisture is detected, it drives a servo to strike a "gong disc."

###Circuit Connection

Connect the soil moisture sensor to the Robotbit P1 terminal block.

###Programming 1、Since the project uses a servo, the program needs to initialize the expansion board at the beginning and set the initial servo angle.

2、Map the soil moisture range to a specific value of 100~0.

3、The Micro:bit LED matrix displays different numbers of lit dots based on the moisture level.

4、Continuously monitor soil moisture. When the value exceeds or falls below a certain threshold, trigger the "night watchman" alert.
