Heart beat pulse sensor using arduino DIY kit

Description

This Superkits DIY project with Arduino using the XD-58C sensor. This sensor does nothing but measures the heart rate of the heart, it can be found in any medical equipment that is used in measuring heart rate. It can be worn on the finger or on the earlobe.

In this article, we are going to interface a Pulse Sensor with Arduino. The pulse sensor we are going to use is a plug and play heart rate sensor. This sensor is quite easy to use and operate. Place your finger on top of the sensor and it will sense the heartbeat by measuring the change in light from the expansion of capillary blood vessels.

There is also a LED in the center of this sensor module which helps in detecting the heartbeat. Below the LED, there is a noise elimination circuitry that is supposed to keep away the noise from affecting the readings.
