Raw sensor values from the optical heart rate sensor #5

Hi there, Nice to see that you have gained access to the raw sensors on the smartwatch. Way too few people showing actual working examples in this area. I was wondering if you know if it is possible to access the optical heart rate sensor in the same manner as you have done with the gyroscope and accelerometer? I'm not looking for the beats pr. minute, but the actual raw PPG signal.

Best, Mads

It looks like the Android API provides just the heart beat and rate.

However, this thread on Stack Overflow says it may be possible to get the raw values from a Samsung device using the Samsung Sensor Extension SDK. If you have a Samsung device, it may be worth checking out.

Thanks for your reply. Hoped for an Android option, but seems like Tizen and Samsung is the way to go.
