Paper Summary

A new sensor was created to measure soil moisture in real-time. It has two terminals and an epoxy layer. The sensor uses a special circuit to measure the moisture in the soil. A microcontroller system calculates the moisture content and saves the data. The results show that the sensor works well for measuring soil moisture.
