I purchased the V1.2 capacitive soil sensor (before reading all the negatives about it here) so im looking to get those set up. I only bought two so its not a big deal if i end up going with something else.
I didn't know if using a different ADC would help with readings?
Let me know what you guys think!
Thanks in advance
I have been experimenting with the ADS1115 - it does work but unless you put a "switch" to the ADS1115 volt input, it does drain the battery as it draws even when the node mcu is in deepsleep. I did connect the ADS1115 volt input to pin GPIO3 on a D1 mini and it seems to be working better and draining the battery at a lower rate. I understand there is a way to fix this based on this article but so far i have not been sucessfull - https://www.best-microcontroller-projects.com/ads1115.html.
