Day 3:        
Measure Pulse

OLED Display and Heart Sensor

This is a add -on activity. Do the base activities first. Here are a links if you need to do them. 
OLED activity          Heart rate monitor activity 

Materials for this activity:

BPM on OLED Display

You already used the sensor's data to calculate your heart's beats per minute (BPM). We can add to that code to get it to put the output on the OLED instead of the Serial Monitor. Here is a link to that Arduino file. Open this file on your computer and compile it. 
bpm_oled.ino
File Size: 2 kb
File Type: ino
Download File


If your sensor is powered correctly, you should see a little red light on it. If you do, put your thumb over the sensor and keep it there. After several seconds, it should level out your BMP reading.
