The Seeed Studio Studio Grove TDS Sensor is an analog-output module for measuring Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water up to 1000 ppm. Designed for easy integration with 3.3V/5V systems like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, it features a waterproof probe for direct liquid immersion.

Features

  • Measures Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from 0 to 1000 ppm.
  • Analog output signal (0~2.3V) for straightforward ADC reading.
  • Dual-voltage operation compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
  • Includes a 60cm long waterproof TDS probe for direct immersion.
  • Grove standardized connector for plug-and-play prototyping.

Description

The Grove TDS Sensor operates on the principle of electrical conductivity measurement. The waterproof probe, containing two electrodes, applies an alternating voltage to the water sample. The sensor measures the resulting current, which correlates to the concentration of dissolved ionic solids, and outputs a proportional analog voltage signal. This signal can be read directly by a microcontroller’s ADC pin for water quality assessment.

The module itself is designed for benchtop or enclosure mounting, while the separate probe is rated for immersion in static water. It is engineered for stability in typical aqueous environments, with clear operating limits to ensure sensor longevity and accurate readings. The integrated power LED provides clear operational status.

Key Features

  • Analog voltage output (0 to 2.3V) directly proportional to TDS concentration.
  • Wide compatibility with 3.3V or 5V microcontroller platforms (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi).
  • Includes a dedicated, immersion-ready TDS probe with a 60cm cable.
  • Low operating current (3-6 mA) for energy-efficient monitoring systems.
  • Grove ecosystem connector simplifies wiring and prototyping.
  • Clear power indication via onboard LED.
  • Optimized for static water measurement in aquariums, hydroponics, and freshwater sources.

Applications

  • Aquarium and hydroponic system water quality monitoring.
  • Drinking water and well water purity testing.
  • Educational projects for environmental science and chemistry.
  • DIY water quality meters and datalogging stations.
  • Monitoring nutrient solution concentration in precision agriculture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this TDS sensor?

The module supports a dual-voltage input of 3.3V or 5V DC, making it directly compatible with most common microcontroller platforms like Arduino Uno, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (using an ADC board) without requiring a level shifter.

How do I interface with the sensor and read the TDS value?

The sensor provides a 0 to 2.3V analog output. Connect the module's Grove connector to your microcontroller's analog input pin via the included cable. Read the voltage with an ADC, then apply a calibration formula to convert the voltage reading into a TDS value in parts per million (ppm).

Can the probe be immersed in any water?

No. The waterproof probe is designed for static, non-flowing water with a temperature not exceeding 70°C. It is not suitable for measuring highly polluted water or fast-moving liquids, as this can damage the probe or produce inaccurate readings.

Is the main sensor module itself waterproof?

No. Only the separate TDS probe with its 60cm cable is waterproof and rated for immersion. The main electronic module with the Grove connector should be kept in a dry environment, typically mounted inside an enclosure.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the Grove TDS Sensor module, one 20cm 4-pin Grove cable for connecting to a microcontroller base shield, and one waterproof TDS probe with an integrated 60cm cable terminated in a 2-pin XHB connector.

Package Includes

  • 1x Grove TDS Sensor Module
  • 1x 20cm Grove 4-pin Cable
  • 1x Waterproof TDS Probe (60cm cable)
