1. Pulsesensor   S  – >  arduino A0
2. Pulsesensor  ‘-‘  – > arduin GND
3. Pulsesensor  ‘+’  – > arduino +5V

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Test Code” tab_id=”1397787777757-3-9″][vc_column_text]Download pulse sensor library and  processing PulseSensorAmpd_

Put the downloaded pulse sensor under the arduinolibraries directory

Open the  File -> Examples -> PulseSensorAmped_Arduino_1dot2 -> PulseSensorAmped_Arduino_1dot2 routine

Burn the program into the Arduino  board.
Open the processing, open the PluseSensorSensorAmpd_Processing_1dot1.pde file under the  PluseSensorSensorAmpd_Processing_1dot1 file

Then click the Verify to start the compiling, the heart rate interface will display.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Test Code” tab_id=”1397787778750-4-8″][vc_column_text]Tie pulse sensor in hand.  You will see the heart rate will display on the progressing.

Notice: to avoid the sweat in hand may cause short circuit, it is suggested that we could use  the hot melt adhesive to seal the  side which welded with the components and the  sensors side can use the duct tape to seal.
