Review: Make sure you're getting the right one.... - Item dispatched by HellasDigital and not remotely as described: 1) Soft braided-wire ribbon cable. Not kidding, that's one nice cable! Not included - cheap cable used 2) An Ear Clip that's perfectly sized to the sensor. Not included 3) A Velcro Finger Strap, just like the pro's. Not included 4) Transparent Vinyl Dots, which make electrical insulation simple. Not included This is the knockoff version - no doubt. Review: Fonctionne bien quand il n'y a pas de mouvement parasite. Bien donc pour une utilisation en statique. En effet peu importe la mise en place (attache), la sueur et les frottements sont a proscrire pour que le capteur reste précis. ## Features - The Pulse Sensor Kit included everything you need for a smooth experience.

Those raw PPG values can be accessed via library methods. Any regular analogRead of the PulseSensor output will generate a PPG waveform, if one is present. PulseSensor samples at 500Hz, but by default, our sample code down-samples to 50Hz when writing to the Serial port. This is good enough resolution to get a decent view of the signal in the time domain. We also do calculate the BPM and Interbeat Interval. Those values are accessible as well. **Q: How do you wire it to the raspberry pi?** A: This link provides a good reference for how to use a pulse sensor with a Raspberry Pi: https://www.hackster.io/lentzlive/heart-pulse-sensor-81e533 **Q: Can I use this on a wrist if I put it on a band to hold it in place?** A: We have heard of people getting a pulse from the wrist, however we cannot guarantee that you will be able to. We are all original organisms, and it may take alterations to the base software that we provide to extract a usable pulse waveform. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Make sure you're getting the right one.... *by C***L on 13 June 2018* Item dispatched by HellasDigital and not remotely as described: 1) Soft braided-wire ribbon cable.
