Description
Overview
Pulse Sensor Amped is a greatly improved version of the original Pulse Sensor, a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor for Arduino and Arduino compatible boards. It can be used by students, artists, athletes, makers, and game & mobile developers who want to easily incorporate live heart-rate data into their projects.
Pulse Sensor Amped adds amplification and noise cancellation circuitry to the hardware. It’s noticeably faster and easier to get reliable pulse readings. Pulse Sensor Amped works with either a 3V or 5V Arduino. Lastly, the Pulse Sensor creators have also streamlined and improved the Processing visualization software and Arduino code that comes with this hardware.
Specifications
- Operating voltage: 3.3V – 5V
- Current: 4mA
- Indicator LED
Hardware connections
The Pulse Rate Sensor should be connected to Uno as follows:
- Signal(S) to A0
- Vcc(+) to 5V
- Gnd(-) to Gnd
Note:The front side(Heart logo)of sensor should be in contact with the skin.The user need to wrap the sensor around the finger as shown in the image.
