Grove - TDS Sensor/Meter For Water Quality (Total Dissolved Solids)
The Grove - TDS Sensor/Meter is an essential tool for monitoring water quality in various applications, from simple hobby projects to critical environmental systems. This easy-to-use sensor is designed to measure the concentration of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), which is the amount of all inorganic and organic substances dissolved in water. The resulting TDS value directly indicates the purity and quality of the water being tested.
Featuring a dedicated signal conditioning board and a durable, waterproof probe, this module provides an analog voltage output that is directly proportional to the TDS level. Its wide voltage support (3.3V/5V) and simple Grove interface ensure seamless compatibility with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi (with an ADC), and Seeeduino, making it a useful foundation for building your own water quality monitoring station for home, hydroponics, or aquarium use.
🔧 Key Features
- Function: Measures Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to assess water quality.
- Output Type: Analog Voltage (0 ~ 2.3V) for simple reading by a microcontroller ADC.
- TDS Range: Measurement range up to 1000 ppm.
- Probe: Includes a dedicated, long-lasting Waterproof TDS Probe.
- Interface: Standard Grove System interface for quick, non-solder connection.
- Compatibility: Fully supports both 3.3V and 5V operating systems (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32).
💡 Applications
- DIY Water Quality Testers and portable TDS meters.
- Monitoring water in Hydroponics and aeroponics systems.
- Continuous monitoring of Aquarium and fish tank water purity.
- Implementation in automated Water Filter Systems and quality control.
