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.
