Sensor Has Arrived!!!
After weeks of red tape and bureaucracy, Jim was finally able to order our microwave moisture sensor from Hydronix, a company located in England. After a week or so to traverse the pond, we received a large and heavy box on Wednesday.
Unpacking it revealed a variety of contents, including a cable, power supply, usb interface with power supply, case, documentation, software, and a very large sensor and sleeves. (To be welded into place)
And I do mean large! Jim and I were both expecting something smaller than a D-cell MagLite, guess we’ll have to pay more attention to dimensions next time!
After getting everything installed and downloaded, we were EXTREMELY excited to see it give us reasonable readings for a bucket of seed we have and for my Nalgene water bottle. It really looks like we finally (8 months later?!) have a sensor to build the rest of our solution around. More to come!
