CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

This circuit uses a soil moisture sensor (resistive) in a voltage divider, compared against a reference to drive a relay for irrigation control. The op-amp provides hysteresis-free threshold detection.

Key decisions

  • Using an op-amp comparator for accurate threshold detection
  • Flyback diode protects transistor from relay inductive kickback
  • Resistive sensor with fixed resistor forms potential divider

When to reuse this

Suitable for DIY automatic plant watering systems, smart garden projects, and educational demonstrations of sensor-based control.
