It’s almost ridiculous to NOT know when your basement is flooded. Tubs, washing machines, even the refrigerator could leak at any time. ...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/learn/learning-center/stem-academy/microbit/b/blog/posts/project-bbc-micro-bit-water-on-the-floor---sensor-alarmThu, 25 Oct 2018 15:50:26 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a1abedbb-ef86-4c0d-9d93-0fe083c1502fneilk1<p>Hi Cabe,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nice project!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Presumably with suitable electrodes you could adapt this to alarm when a potted plant gets too dry?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Neil</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=5729&AppID=140&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/learn/learning-center/stem-academy/microbit/b/blog/posts/project-bbc-micro-bit-water-on-the-floor---sensor-alarmThu, 18 Oct 2018 17:04:17 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a1abedbb-ef86-4c0d-9d93-0fe083c1502fgenebren2<p>Nice project.&nbsp; I could have certainly used something like this about a year ago.&nbsp; My kitchen sink developed a small link that went undetected until I noticed the water storage tank from my reverse osmosis filter system leaning heavily to one side.&nbsp; The whole base of my cabinet was dished towards the middle.&nbsp; It will be a tough repair to tackle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This simple design would have been a real time saver!&nbsp; Strange but I just ordered my first micro:bit a few days ago.&nbsp; I had planned on using it as part of an autonomous controller for my robot (Walky II), but it might get repurposed into a moisture alarm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for sharing!</p><p>Gene </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=5729&AppID=140&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
