Technical summary
Heart rate / pulse sensor for Arduino and Raspberry Pi
This pulse sensor can measure the heart rate in BPM on the finger or earlobe using a microcontroller.
Due to its small size, the sensor is ideal for building mobile applications and projects that have to react to the heart rate.
A highlight is the visualization of the heart rate on a PC or MAC using an Arduino and the Processing software. The instructions with the code can be found below in the downloads section.
Details:
- Supply voltage: 3-5V
- Diameter: 16mm
- Magnification: 330
- LED wavelength: 609nm
