Re: Capacitive Moisture sensor DOIT ESP32 - Cant seem to work
Hmm i thought it might have had something to do with being the only adc & arduino pin. anyway, one other thing id massivley appreciate you elaborating on... i understand the maths with the voltage divider but id love you to elaborate how you came to the capacitor value you did for cleaning any noise...

Re: Capacitive Moisture sensor DOIT ESP32 - Cant seem to work
According to the reviews on that page, the issue is that those sensors only work with a 5V power supply. The issue there is that the output voltage in that case will also have a max of 5V, which is way above what the ESP32 can have on an input pin. You can use resistive divider to put it back into ...

Hey everyone. I've been trying to get these moisture sensors to work for 4 hours but i just cant seem to! I've tried everything i can think of 3.3v, 5v, different sensors(but the same) differnet cables, different pins, pull up, pull down etc etc, ive tried attenuation but not much. it either starts ...
