Description:
This is a dissolved oxygen sensor kit. A dissolved oxygen meter is used to measure the dissolved oxygen in water, to reflect the water quality. It is widely applied in many water quality applications, such as aquaculture, environment monitoring, natural science, etc.
There’s an old saying regarding keeping fish, “Good fish deserves good water”. Good water quality is very important to aquatic organisms. Dissolved oxygen is one of the important parameters to reflect water quality. Low dissolved oxygen in the water will lead to difficulty in breathing for aquatic organisms, which may threaten their lives.
The probe is galvanic, does not need polarization time, and stays available at any time. The filling solution and membrane cap are replaceable, leading to a low maintenance cost. The signal converter board is plug-and-play and works from 3.3V - 5V which makes it compatible with most popular microcontrollers such as ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino.

Features:
Dissolved Oxygen Probe：
- Galvanic probe, no need for polarization time
- The filling solution and membrane cap are replaceable, low maintenance cost
Signal Converter Board：
- 3.3~5.5V wide-range power supply, compatible with most Arduino microcontrollers
- 0~3.0V analog output, compatible with all microcontrollers with ADC function.
- Gravity interface, plug, and play, easy to use
Note:
- The filling solution is 0.5 mol/L NaOH solution. You need to pour it into the membrane cap before use. Please be cautious with the operation because the solution is corrosive. Please wear gloves! If the solution accidentally drops onto the skin, wash your skin with plenty of water immediately.
- The oxygen-permeable membrane in the membrane cap is sensitive and fragile. Be cautious when handling it. Fingernails and other sharp objects should be avoided.
- The DO sensor will consume a little oxygen during the measurement. Please gently stir the solution and let the oxygen be distributed evenly in the water.
Projects:
Introduction: Since measuring the parameter of water quality is a complex task, so measuring the dissolved oxygen in water is also not an easy task. That is why the Dissolved Oxygen Meter (DO Meter) available in the market is very expensive. That is why it is important to make your Dissolved Oxygen Meter. So the Gravity Analog Dissolved Oxygen Sensor from DFRobot is one of the most popular and best Dissolved Oxygen Sensors that are available in the market.
This project will interface a Gravity Analog Dissolved Oxygen Sensor with an Arduino Board and 0.96″ OLED Display. Firstly, preparing the DO Sensor by filling the 0.5N Sodium Hydroxide Solution, then preparing the sensor for testing. Once the sensor is prepared, go through the Arduino Dissolved Oxygen Sensor calibration code & calibrate the sensor. And then finally make your Dissolved Oxygen Meter & display the dissolved Oxygen value in an OLED Display.
- Project 2. Build KnowFlow: automatic water monitor
KnowFlow is the name of this water quality monitoring device, based on Arduino Uno. It can automatically monitor 5 parameters of water: pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Electronic Conductivity, and ORP.
- Project 3. Calibrated Dissolved Oxygen Meter
Introduction: Are you working on an aquaponics or hydroponics project? Or you simply have a fish tank and want your fish to be happy? If yes, you'll probably need a way to measure dissolved Oxygen level.
