Tutorial: How to use the PulseSensor

The PulseSensor is an impulse heart rate sensor for Arduino. Useful for wellness and fitness monitoring projects.

What you need

• Arduino UNO or compatible
• PulseSensor
• 10kΩ Resistor
• 5V Power Cable
• Jumper Wire

Steps

1. 1. Connect the PulseSensor to pin A0 of Arduino with a jumper wire.
2. 2. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between VCC and GND of the PulseSensor.
3. 3. Connect VCC of the PulseSensor to 5V of Arduino.
4. 4. Connect GND of PulseSensor to GND of Arduino.
5. 5. Upload the following code to Arduino.
6. 6. Display heart rate on the serial monitor.
7. 7. Check the datasheet for further details.
8. 8. Try moving your hand near the sensor to see changes.

Example code

```
int sensorPin = A0;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  Serial.println(sensorValue);
  delay(100);
}
```
