/* PulseSensorâ„¢ Starter Project http://www.pulsesensor.com * This an Arduino project. It's Best Way to Get Started with your PulseSensorâ„¢ & Arduino. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) This shows a live human Heartbeat Pulse. 2) Live visualization in Arduino's Cool "Serial Plotter". 3) Blink an LED on each Heartbeat. 4) This is the direct Pulse Sensor's Signal. 5) A great first-step in troubleshooting your circuit and connections. 6) "Human-readable" code that is newbie friendly." */ // Variables int PulseSensorPurplePin = 0; // Pulse Sensor PURPLE WIRE connected to ANALOG PIN 0 int LED13 = 13; // The on-board Arduion LED int Signal; // holds the incoming raw data. Signal value can range from 0-1024 int Threshold = 550; // Determine which Signal to "count as a beat", and which to ingore. // The SetUp Function: void setup() { pinMode(LED13,OUTPUT); // pin that will blink to your heartbeat! Serial.begin(9600); // Set's up Serial Communication at certain speed. } // The Main Loop Function void loop() { Signal = analogRead(PulseSensorPurplePin); // Read the PulseSensor's value. // Assign this value to the "Signal" variable. Serial.println(Signal); // Send the Signal value to Serial Plotter. if(Signal > Threshold){ // If the signal is above "550", then "turn-on" Arduino's on-Board LED. digitalWrite(LED13,HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(LED13,LOW); // Else, the sigal must be below "550", so "turn-off" this LED. } delay(10); }
