Heart Rate Starter Pack

Post by carteaga »

Hi,

I have a project to present to Junior High School kids and I saw the Heart Rate Educationional Starter Pack (product 1077). I like to buy this item and project, however, which is the right microcontroller that I will need?
Will this package bring also the software and support?
thanks,

Carlos

That sensor can work with either an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi. The Arduino would probably be a bit easier to program.

Parallax has a tutorial that shows how to connect the sensor to an Arduino, and that includes some code to get things running:

We also have a tutorial that uses the sensor with an Arduino-like development board:
