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 Heart Rate Sensor Amped can solve that problem!

Pulse Sensor Amped is a greatly improved version of the original Pulse Sensor, a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor for Arduino and Arduino compatibles. 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.

Features :

• A Color-Coded Cable, with a standard male header connectors. Plug it straight into an Arduino or a Breadboard. No soldering is required.
• The Pulse Sensor has 3 holes around the outside edge which make it easy to sew it into almost anything.
• Visualization software (made in Processing) to instantly see the output of the sensor and for troubleshooting.

Specification:

• Diameter = 0.625″ (~16mm)
• Overall thickness = 0.125″ (~3mm)
• Cable length = 24″ (~609mm)
• Voltage = 3V to 5V
• Current consumption = ~4mA at 5V

Package Includes :

• 1 x Heart Beat Pulse Sensor
