Pulse Sensor

Sensore battito cardiaco

Heart rate data can be really useful whether you're designing an exercise routine studying your activity or anxiety levels or just want your shirt to blink with your heart beat. The problem is that heart rate can be difficult to measure. Luckily the Pulse Sensor Amped can solve that problem!The Pulse Sensor Amped is a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor for Arduino. 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.It essentially combines a simple optical heart rate sensor with amplification and noise cancellation circuitry making it fast and easy to get reliable pulse readings. Also it sips power with just 4mA current draw at 5V so it's great for mobile applications.Simply clip the Pulse Sensor to your earlobe or finger tip and plug it into your 3 *or *5 Volt Arduino and you're ready to read heart rate! The 24" cable on the Pulse Sensor is terminated with standard male headers so there's no soldering required. Of course Arduino example code is available as well as a Processing sketch for visualizing heart rate data.Dimensions: 0.625" Diameter and 0.125" Thick Kit Includes:Pulse Sensor Board24-inch Color-Coded Cable with Standard Male HeadersEar Clip for Earlobe Heart Rate MeasurementVelcro Finger StrapTransparent Stickers to Protect SensorDocuments:[Schematic](http://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Biometric/PulseSensorAmpd - Schematic.pdf)Getting Started VideoGetting Started ProjectGetting Advanced CodePulse Sensor Processing VisualizerProduct Video
