IC (LM358):
The LM358 is an integrated circuit (IC) that contains two operational amplifiers. It’s commonly used in electronic circuits for amplification, signal conditioning, and various other applications. This IC is versatile, low-cost, and widely available, making it popular among hobbyists and professionals alike. Its dual operational amplifier design allows it to handle multiple tasks within a circuit, often involving amplification or signal processing.
Moisture sensor:
A moisture sensor is a device that measures the moisture content in soil, allowing you to monitor the level of water present. It typically consists of two electrodes that are inserted into the soil. As the soil moisture changes, the electrical conductivity between these electrodes also changes. This change in conductivity is then measured by the sensor and converted into a signal that indicates the moisture level.
Regulator (7805):
The 7805 is a voltage regulator IC that provides a stable output voltage of +5 volts. It’s part of the 78xx series of voltage regulators, known for their ability to regulate and maintain a constant voltage output despite fluctuations in input voltage or load variations.
Diod (4007):
1N4007 is a general-purpose silicon rectifier diode. It’s part of the 1N400x series of diodes and is widely used in various electronic circuits due to its ability to handle moderate levels of current and voltage.
The 1N4007 diode is typically used in rectification applications, where it allows current to flow in only one direction while blocking it in the reverse direction. It’s commonly employed in power supply circuits to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by allowing current flow in only one direction.
