wearable_heartbeat

This is a demonstration of wearable technology using arduino.

Description

Build this fun project/circuit to show the rythm of your beating heart using your own wearable electronic platform.

Components

1. Arduino (We are using Arduino Uno Board, but you can use any Arduino (compatible) board)
2. Pulse Sensor (pulsesensor.com) Buy Here
3. 8 X 8 LED Matrix
   

   (You can find the matrix module at many online stores (Buy Here ))
   This includes a 8x8 LED matrix (red colour), a MAX7219 chip to control the LEDs, header PINs and sockets, one 10KOhm resistor, a 100nF capacitor, a 10uF electrolic capacitor and a PCB where everything is connected together. You can purchase the module already soldered and mounted

4. Jumper Wires

Dependencies

This project requires LEDControl Arduino Library. To install the library in your Arduino IDE:

• uncompress the library file that you just downloaded
• make sure that you close all the open windows of the Arduino IDE
• look for the libraries folder inside the folder where you installed the Arduino IDE
• copy the uncompressed LedControlMS folder (the folder with all its content) inside the libraries folder

If everything worked fine, you should be able to #include "LedControlMS.h"
