The Mini Prong soil sensor is a short version of the original Prong sensor that has been specially adapted for use with the Kitronik Greenhouse Kit for BBC micro:bit.

The Mini Prong soil moisture sensor for BBC micro:bit is a sensor board that can be connected to a BBC micro:bit with crocodile clips to monitor the moisture present in the soil.

Mini Prong is powered from the 3V supply of the BBC micro:bit. Employ either the USB or JST connector on the BBC micro:bit to power the circuit.
