Week 9: input devices

individual assignment

for this week,s assignment, i explored a pulse sensor.

by connecting it to a barduino and a small oled screen, i was able to visualize the data in real-time.

i wrote a small code to show the pulse sensor input into a serial monitor.

the serial monitor showed values from 0-4096, showing that it has a 12-bit system.

i then wrote another code to translate the values into beats per munyte (BPM), a simple waveform of the heartbeat and a small pulsating heart icon.

using the serial plotter, i was able to change the threshholds to maximise the calibration and visualise clear signals from the pulse monitor

now i need to connect this system to the board that i created
