Measure Something Capacitance

Read it Reading via LED

Moisture Monitoring

For input week I chose to use capacitance to measure soil moisture for my final project.

Here I got the capacitance measuring and responding via an LED. I created various thresholds that would cause the LED to flash at different rates or patterns to idenitfy what number the board was recieving. Here you can see it changing as I touch it.
