Adafruit Stemma Capacitive Soil Sensor Cover for IoT Garden

A sensor cover for the Adafruit Stemma Soil Sensor:

Snaps Together nicely no glue needed.  I print in PETg for outdoor durability.

Logo on top (for those of you wondering) is for Team 4160 for which I am a mentor.

This is a part that is useful to create a home garden sensor that logs and graphs data.
Really Cool Live data from mine:

This soil sensor together with an RPI 2040 aka Pico, Airlift Board, a DHT 22, and the Adafruit IO site to graph and see live temperature and sensor data:

Steps to setup your sensor:
You will need to create an Adafruit IO account, to log the data.  Create feeds (temp, humidity, soil).  Setup your board to run CircuitPython with the required libraries(adafruit_dht, busio, digitalio, adafruit_esp32, seesaw). Put the Pico_Garden.py code on the board, and the secrets.py.   Then edit the secrets.py file to setup your WiFi and Adafruit account.
