Frequently Asked Questions
What supply voltage should I use with the YL-69 module?
The YL-69 module operates reliably from 2.0 V up to 5.0 V. For best compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller boards, power it directly from their regulated output pins.
How deep should I insert the probe into the soil?
Insert the fork-shaped probe up to 38 mm or until the soil covers the lower tines. This ensures consistent moisture contact and accurate voltage readings.
Can I leave the YL-69 probe permanently in wet soil?
While designed for continuous monitoring, extended exposure in very wet or nutrient-rich soils can accelerate corrosion. Periodically clean the probe and consider a corrosion-resistant coating for long-term use.
