Finger clip is getting interference from florescent lighting #28

Open carewake opened 6 years ago

Summary: The display screen shows an uneven wave reading when the finger probe is placed on the finger and is under bright, and especially florescent lighting. When covered with a dark cloth, the wave appears more steady and even.

Steps to reproduce: Place finger probe on finger and look at reading in a well-lit area, especially under florescent lighting.

Expected results: The wave reading should be steady when a finger is in finger probe and device is calibrating.

Actual results: The wave reading is shaky and uneven when finger is in finger probe and device is calibrating.

Suggestions: Finger probe could be printed using a dark coloured filament. A shied may need to be added to exclude the additional light, much like current commercial pulse oximeter devices.

Firmware version: v2.1

Commercial systems are all well shielded.
