Inspired by diverse links and Youtube videos the very first try to build it was to use IR Emitter and Detector. It didn't work that well: the sensors are pretty sensitive for moving action and the signal at processing was very faint. | |||
So I decided to try it again with an amplifier to get a stronger signal of my heartbeat. | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
To amplify the signal I used a low voltage op-amp LM358N. | To amplify the signal I used a low voltage op-amp LM358N. | ||

The Data Logger Shield for the Arduino board is directly plugged on the top of it and will save the collected data to a SD card. | |||
