Hi

After connecting the heartbeat sensor, I'm now trying to get data from it. However, it just spikes a bit, not even looking like a beating heart. The sensor lights up green so it is connected.. Any tips? vkr victor

Victor, I will need more information from you to help troubleshoot this problem. Can you send a picture of the sensor? What Arduino board are you using? How are you visualizing the data?

victoroos commented 7 years ago

sensor as the hardbeat sensor? SUre, will do in a few. For the other questions: Uno. And using the serial plotter as instructed.

biomurph commented 7 years ago

also send a screen shot of the data in the serial plotter

Can you break the sensor when attach it wrong on accident, because that is what the store where I bought it is telling me. I was confused by the grey and white, which both were neutral I thought.

Well, it looks like you purchased a counterfeit Pulse Sensor. That is not our PCB, nor is it our wire type and color. I'm sorry, but since I don't have any idea what's going on with that hardware I can't troubleshoot this problem for you.

Please support the Original Makers of Pulse Sensor by purchasing from a legitimate reseller. www.pulsesensor.com www.adafruit.com www.sparkfun.com
