Description
Summary:This project explains the design of moisture detector with the use of microcontroller. Theory of resistivity and conductivity principles were implemented in this project. The metered multi-moisture detector used probes to detect the wetness or dryness of chosen substances; paddy, com and red beans. The use of microcontroller was introduced in achieving the desired output. Microcontroller was programmed using C programming. It converted the voltage drop measured into moisture content (in percentage) and displayed the value through LCD. This metered multi-moisture detector is portable and cost effective device.
