A Moisture sensor measures the volumetric water content in soil.
This block can be used receive analog inputs (% values in the range 0 to 100%) from an external moisture sensor connected to any of the ports S1, S2, S3.
Note: While connecting an external sensor to the Cloudio board, care must be taken to match the polarities of the sensor with that of the port (S1/S2/S3) that it is being connected to.
Here, you can select the port the sensor is selected to - S1/S2/S3.
Here, you can select the operator to be used while comparing the values received from the sensor against the threshold value set in the next step.
You can set an integer value in the range 0 to 100 for comparison.
You can use the Read option to read/receive real-time values from the port selected.
After you set the parameters for the block, you can press Done to confirm and save your changes.
Note: This is a code snippet to explain the working of the block. In this case, this code will be executed once and at the time of uploading the code.
You will need to use this snippet inside a loop infinitely block if you want this code to run on the board for the entire duration that the board is on.
