Pump and water-detection hardware for DIY experiments
Each small pump is paired with a capacitive sensor plate connected through the Mini-USB lead. Use the set with compatible control and comparator electronics in a supervised low-voltage prototype.
What this item is designed to do
Capacitive plate
The sensor plate uses the D+ and D− conductors and needs a compatible capacitive converter/comparator circuit.
Submerged pump
The pump is not self-priming and must be placed in water before it is powered.
Prototype use
The current listing describes this set for experiments and specifically does not recommend continuous operation.
What is included
- 2 mini submersible pumps with sensor plates
- 2 Mini-USB adapters
Check before ordering
- Compatible PlantMate capacitive converter/comparator is not included
- A typical resistive comparator may not work with the plate
- Do not run the pump dry
- Not recommended for continuous operation
Product details at a glance
Prototype-use warning
Ignore contradictory continuous-use and lifetime claims from older copy. Treat this as supervised experiment hardware, use a suitable low-voltage supply and compatible comparator, and keep every exposed connection dry.
Need help choosing a part?
Review the matching converter/comparator module or contact PlantMate before combining the pump and sensor plate with another controller.
