if you keep on getting random values in your serial monitor while using the custom moisture value, then try any of this quick fix:

  • Attach your 10k ohm resistor to a whole different port of your microcontrller
  • use a 100k ohm poetentiometer by connecting any of the legs and wiper(middle leg) together and send it to a seperate ground pin of your micro-controlleer while your signal pin is connected to the third leg.
    • Vary the potentiometer untill u see a stable 0 (wires must be seperate with no form of conducting either directly or not)
