Pulse Sensor Amped

Pulse Sensor Amped is a greatly improved version of the original Pulse Sensor, a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor for Arduino and Arduino compatibles.

RED wire / +V
Positive supply lead. Pulse Sensor Getting Started Guide states RED wire = +3V to +5V and connects to +V.
Type · powerVoltage · +3V to +5V
BLACK wire / GND
Ground lead. Pulse Sensor Getting Started Guide states BLACK wire = GND and connects to Ground.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V
PURPLE wire / Signal
Analogue pulse output lead. Pulse Sensor Getting Started Guide states PURPLE wire = Signal and connects to Arduino analogue pin 0; datasheet states output voltage range is 0.3V to Vdd.

Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.

Temp and humidity

DHT11, DHT22/AM2302, and DHT20/AHT20 sensors solve the same broad job, but only some are acceptable substitutes in the same circuit.

Light and colour

Photoresistors and color sensors both respond to light, but they expose very different signals and are not sensible drop-in substitutes.
