Learn about how to build IoT solutions for digital agriculture with this 4-part series, part of our IoT for Beginners live streams. In this episode, Jim looks at soil moisture measurement using a capacitive soil moisture sensor and a Raspberry Pi. Learn how to use this sensor, how sensors communicate with IoT devices, and how to calibrate sensors when the quantity they are measuring is not consistent for all situations. 0:00 - Intro 1:22 - IoT for Beginners, a free 24 lesson IoT curriculum - https://aka.ms/iot-beginners 5:03 - Catch the previous series - https://aka.ms/iot-beginners-videos 5:50 - Get the kits from Seeed Studio - https://aka.ms/iot-beginners-kits 8:03 - Introduction to Digital Agriculture 11:10 - Why do plants need water? 13:40 - Soil moisture sensors 15:45 - Hands on with a soil moisture sensor and a Raspberry Pi 26:37 - What is GPIO? 33:37 - What is I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit)? 37:53 - What is UART? 39:29 - What is SPI? 44 …...more
