Good Value
Works well but the cable is a bit short for large pots. Otherwise great.

Robust Build
Survived accidental digging and harsh weather. Highly recommend.
Q: Can I use this with 3.3V logic?
A: Yes, the sensor supports wide-voltage operation from 3.3V to 5.5V.
Q: Can I extend the cable?
A: Yes, you can solder extension wires, but ensure connections are insulated.
Q: Do I need a specific library?
A: No, you can read the analog value directly using standard analogRead functions.
Q: Is the electronics module waterproof?
A: The probe is corrosion-resistant, but please keep the PCB module dry.
Q: How deep should the probe go?
A: Bury the probe section completely but do not submerge the circuit board.
