The beating of the heart is often recorded via sound or simply with touch - but there's also another interesting and somewhat lesser known option - light. An infrared emitter/detector pair can be used along with a programmable microcontroller, to effectively visualize the effects of the human body's hardest-working muscle.

  • I'd like to see some coding that would give you a reading of your oxygen saturation by giving values based on color shift.

  • back to maH laptop

  • you could run it true amplifier and speakers or maybe use the ms20 filter from your monotron, you could even sample it and pitchshift te signal to the wanted frequency in ableton.

  • the sketch for the arduino please...thanks!

  • Battle royale anyone?

  • you could hook it up to one of those cheap "beating heart" LED kits

  • you could put these on a clothespin and have a cheap oximeter

  • You could use it as a polygraph to see if someone gets nervous,

  • why not use the arduino mega?
