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. 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.
FAQs:
Q: What is the SEN-11574 Heart Rate Pulse Sensor used for?
A: The SEN-11574 Heart Rate Pulse Sensor detects heartbeats using photoplethysmography (PPG) technology. It’s used in various applications like fitness trackers, health monitoring devices, and biofeedback systems to measure heart rate in real time.
Q: What are the main features of the SEN-11574 Heart Rate Pulse Sensor?
A: Features of the SEN-11574 include a 24-inch cable for easy integration, a PPG sensor for heart rate detection, a simple 3-pin interface for connection, and a compact design for easy mounting in wearable or embedded systems.
Q: How do I connect the SEN-11574 Heart Rate Pulse Sensor to my project?
A: Connect the sensor’s 3-pin connector to your microcontroller or development board: VCC to 5V, GND to ground, and PUL to an analog input pin. Ensure proper connections to read the analog signal and process the heart rate data.
Q: What microcontrollers or development boards are compatible with the SEN-11574?
A: The SEN-11574 works with most microcontrollers and development boards that can read analog signals, including Arduino boards (like Uno, Nano), Raspberry Pi (with an external ADC like MCP3008), and compatible development platforms.
Q: How do I interpret the data from the SEN-11574 Heart Rate Pulse Sensor?
A: The sensor outputs an analog signal that fluctuates with each heartbeat. Use an ADC to convert the analog signal to a digital value. Write code to analyze the signal, detect pulse peaks, and calculate the heart rate based on the time between pulses.
