Hi, i make basic soil moisture senzor project with five led diodes (pins 8-12) for signalization how wet the dirt is. It really basic.
Everything worked how it should, but after while, the L led on arduino starts blinking and led that is showing the wet level stars blinking too (Pins 8-12). After reset its same problem. Im using arduino uno and 9V battery.
Maybe your power supply? A 9V PP3 battery (if that is your battery) is not a decent power supply. Does it work properly for a long time when powered via USB or a decent power supply?
