Pulse Sensor - Defective
I ordered a Pulse Sensor Amped, and I've been wrestling with it for the past few days. When it does find a pulse it is sporadic and wildly inaccurate.

Re: Pulse Sensor - Defective
What are you connecting it to and what type of output are you getting?

Re: Pulse Sensor - Defective
I'm using the code the manufacturer provided with an Arduino Uno. I'm getting a pulse reading that sporadically jumps between 39 and 220, these aren't really useful or accurate values for a human heartbeat.
