Pulse Sensor Amped
Optical heart-rate sensor with on-board amplification and noise cancellation; works with 3 V or 5 V Arduino via analogue input. Outputs a signal proportional to blood-volume pulse for real-time BPM calculation.
Pinout
- 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.
