Usage Tips:

1. Connecting the Module:
   • Connect the VCC pin to the power supply (3.3V or 5V).
   • Connect the GND pin to the ground of your system.
   • Insert the soil moisture probes into the soil you wish to monitor.
2. Reading the Output:
   • For analog output, connect the A0 pin to an analog input pin on your microcontroller to get a voltage reading proportional to the soil moisture level.
   • For digital output, connect the D0 pin to a digital input pin on your microcontroller to get a HIGH or LOW signal based on the threshold set by the potentiometer.
3. Adjusting Sensitivity:
   • Use the onboard potentiometer to set the moisture threshold for the digital output. Turn the potentiometer until the desired threshold is reached.
