Product Details
Greenhouse Sensor
The Greenhouse Sensor measures temperature, light intensity, soil moisture, and atmospheric humidity, making it the perfect tool for monitoring conditions in agricultural and environmental science. Designed for use with PASCO’s Greenhouse Sense and Control Kit.
Description
With the Greenhouse Sensor, students can monitor terrarium conditions in real time, displaying measurements as digits, tables, or graphs within SPARKvue or PASCO Capstone on their personal devices. Greenhouse Sensor measurements can also be used in custom Blockly programs to automate plant care, while teaching students about the role of coding and technology in modern agricultural monitoring.
Monitor, study, and automate terrarium conditions by adding a //control.Node and accessory, such as the Grow Light (PS-3347), the USB Fan (PS-6206), or the USB Pump (SE-6208).
Features
Measures light intensity, humidity, temperature, and soil moisture
Designed especially for contained spaces, such as an EcoChamber or terrarium.
Measurements can be used as code input to automate terrarium conditions.
