Do you want to build an auto plant watering system but don’t know where to start?
Or you are a teacher and wanted to help your students to build the auto plant watering system in the most effective way?
This project kit comes with the new Maker Soil Moisture Sensor.
A capacitive moisture sensor which measures the soil moisture level by changing the probe capacitance and does not erode the sensor probe easily.
The Lesson Guide is written in simple language and comes with a step-by-step guide to make an auto plant watering system.

This is the perfect extension for Raspberry Pi's GPIO to breadboard, with clear GPIO labeling. This is the assembled version of the Pi T-Cobbler. It works with the:
- Raspberry Pi Model Zero WH
- Raspberry Pi 3A+
- Raspberry Pi 3B
- Raspberry Pi 3B+
- Raspberry Pi 4B 1GB (Discontinued, but compatible)
- Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB
- Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB
- Raspberry Pi 5
- Any Raspberry Pi board with 40-pin GPIO (2x20 connector) pre-soldered.
The Raspberry Pi has landed on the Maker World like a 40-GPIO pinned, quad-USB ported, credit card sized bomb of DIY joy. And while you can use most of our great Model B accessories by hooking up our downgrade cable, it's probably a good time to upgrade your set up and accessorize using all of the 40 pins. That's why we now carry the Assembled Pi T-Cobbler - Breakout + Cable for Raspberry Pi. This Cobbler is in a fancy T-shape, which is not as compact but is a little easier to read the labels. It breaks out all those tasty power, GPIO, I2C and SPI pins from the 40-pin header onto a solderless breadboard. This set will make "cobbling together" prototypes with the Pi super easy.
Each order comes with a 40 pin ribbon cable and assembled T-Cobbler. You can plug the 40-pin GPIO cable between the Pi computer and the T-Cobbler breakout. The T-Cobbler can plug into any solderless breadboard. The T-Cobbler PCB has all the pins labeled nicely so you can go forth and build circuits without keeping a pin-out printout at your desk. We think this will make it more fun to expand the Pi and build custom circuitry with it.
Note: Fully assembled, no soldering required!
- Extend 40-pin GPIO of Raspberry Pi out to Breadboard friendly PCB and header pin
- Fully Assembled, plug and use

In a motherboard (or any other circuit board), a jumper is a pair of prongs that are electrical contact points set into the board or an adapter card . When you set a jumper, you place a plug on the prongs that completes a contact. In effect, the jumper acts as a switch by closing (or opening) an electrical circuit.
Specifications
- Type: Shorting Jumper with tail
- Pitch: 2.54mm.
- Number of Pins: 2.
- Contact Material: Copper Alloy.
- Current Rating: 2A.
- Housing Material: Thermoplastic.
- Operating Temperature: -25°C to 105°C.

This module adopts an 8-bit MCU as the main control chip, it can be applied in distance measurement, testing the performance of the HC-SR04 ultrasonic module. Plus, you can use this module in two ways since it supports Serial Port Display and Digital Tube Display.
Specifications
- Integrated STM8S103 High-Performance Microprocessor
- Interfaces:
- Digital Tube Display
- Serial Port Data Output
- Input Voltage: 5V
- LiPo Connector: 2.54mm socket (5V power supply)
- Measuring Distance: 3cm - 400cm
- Plate Size: 25mm x 35mm
- Weight: 7g
How To Use
Measured distance can be displayed via the digital tube or serial port:
- Digital Display: directly connect ultrasonic sensor and provide 5V power supply (using wire jumpers or LiPo battery).
- Serial Port Output: connect the display module pins (VCC, TX, RX, GND) to USB to TTL converter pins (5V, RX, TX, GND) respectively. Select 9600 baud transmission rate and the output format is "D: XXX", where XXX represents the distance in centimeters.
Note: No code is required to use this module! Plug and play, very easy to use for beginners.
Additional Notes
When measuring the distance, the area of the measured object should not be less than 0.5 square meters, and it should be smooth and have strong reflectivity. Failure to do so will affect the test result.
Valid measuring distance: 3-400cm. If it is longer than this range, it will result in incorrect data or shows a 000 screen.
