Pulse Sensor is a low-cost, very small-size plug-and-play heart rate sensor for Arduino and Arduino compatible boards. It can be used by students, artists, athletes, makers, and game & mobile developers who want to incorporate live heart-rate data into their projects easily. Pulse Sensor Amped adds amplification and noise cancellation circuitry to the hardware. This heart rate sensor is noticeably faster and easier to get reliable pulse readings. Pulse Sensor works with either a 3V or 5V Arduino.
A Color-Coded Cable, with standard male header connectors. Plug it straight into an Arduino or a Breadboard. No soldering is required.
An Ear Clip perfectly sized to the sensor. It can be hot-glued or epoxied to the back of the sensor to get a reading from an ear lobe.
Parts to make a handy Velcro finger strap. This is another excellent way to get heart-rate data.
An optical heart rate sensor measures pulse waves, which are changes in blood vessel volume caused by the heart pumping blood. An optical sensor and a green LED are used to detect pulse waves by measuring volume changes.
2. How does the heart rate sensor work?
The Pulse Sensor is a plug-and-play heart-rate sensor. Students, artists, athletes, makers, and game and mobile developers who want to easily incorporate live heart-rate data into their projects can use it.
3. How do I connect Arduino to the pulse sensor?
Connecting the Pulse Sensor to an Arduino is super simple. There are only three wires to connect: two for power and one for reading the sensor value. The module can be powered by either 3.3V or 5V. The positive voltage connects to '+' and the ground connects to '-'.
4. Where can I use the Heart Rate sensor module?
The Heart Rate Sensor module is a low-cost, very small-size plug-and-play heart rate sensor for Arduino and Arduino compatible boards. The sensor is commonly used for Sleep Tracking, Anxiety monitoring, Remote patient monitoring or alarm system, Health bands, and Complex gaming consoles.
Far more accurate than my previous competitive model. Stays put on my arm and shows the changes in my heart rate right away. Just what I needed to keep track of heart rate.

Accuracy was great
giving correct readings when connceted to Adruino Board.
