Moisture sensor jumper wire length - MAX and max sensors per unit.

What is the maximum jumper wire length to the probe from the interface board and what is the maximum length from the interface board to the arduino?

I am trying to do a individual plant watering system checking moisture level and dispensing water only as needed per plant.

I was trying to figure out how long a sensor can run before wireline loss messes it up ie can we go 50' or 100'

Also wondering how many moisture sensors can run with how many water solenoids.

Practically 24 to 48 on a large system is this EASILY possible?

Thank you

George

You have not specified which sensors you are using.

So, no one can guess.

So my answer is No, it is not EASY.
