HerecomesananalogpHmeter,speciallydesignedforArduinocontrollersandhasbuiltinsimple,
convenientandpracticalconnectionandfeatures.IthasanLEDwhichworksasthePowerIndicator,aBNC
connectorandPH2.0sensorinterface.Touseit,justconnectthepHsensorwithBNCconnector,andplug
thePH2.0interfaceintotheanaloginputportofanyArduinocontroller.Ifpreprogrammed,youwillgetthe
pHvalueeasily.Comesincompactplasticboxwithfoamsforbettermobilestorage.
