The YL-105 datasheet ignores cable capacitance. If your cable to the sensor exceeds 30cm, readings drop by 10%.

Don't trust the potentiometer blindly. These small trim pots can be sensitive to vibration. Once you find your sweet spot, a dab of hot glue or nail polish over the screw can lock your threshold in place.

| Missing Parameter | Why You Need It | | :--- | :--- | | | Air vs. Water capacitance (pF) to calculate dielectric constant. | | Temperature Coefficient | Output drifts ~2-5% per 10°C. Unknown in original sheet. | | AC Frequency | Most clones run at 1-10 MHz; frequency stability affects linearity. | | Rise Time | How fast does the sensor respond to wetting (99% FS)? (Actual: ~2 seconds). | | Adhesion Curve | Water clinging to copper vs. soil interface. |
