Pulse Sensor Heart Rate Detector

Description :

The Pulse Sensor is a device designed to detect and measure heart rate (pulse) from the fingertip. It is commonly used in various applications, including fitness monitoring, medical devices, and biofeedback systems. The sensor typically works by using an optical technique to detect changes in blood volume in the fingertip, which occur with each heartbeat. Here are some key features and information about the Pulse Sensor:

Key Features :

 1. Optical Heart Rate Sensor : The Pulse Sensor is an optical sensor that uses light to detect changes in blood volume. It often includes an LED (light-emitting diode) that shines light into the fingertip and a photodetector that measures the amount of light absorbed by the blood.

 2. Compatibility : The sensor is often designed to be compatible with popular development platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. This makes it easy to integrate into various electronic projects.

 3. Analog Output : The sensor typically provides an analog voltage output that corresponds to the detected heart rate. This analog signal can be read by a microcontroller for further processing.

 4. Adjustable Sensitivity : Some Pulse Sensors come with adjustable sensitivity settings, allowing users to fine-tune the sensor for optimal performance.

 5. Easy to Use : The Pulse Sensor is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use. It often comes with example code and tutorials to help users integrate it into their projects.

Pin Configuration :

The Pulse Sensor typically has three pins:

• VCC: Connects to the power supply (e.g., 5V).
• GND: Connects to the ground.
• AOUT (Analog Output): Connects to an analog input pin on a microcontroller.

Wiring (Arduino):

Here's a basic wiring example for connecting the Pulse Sensor to an Arduino:
