01 — About

What it does

The Pulse Rate & Heartbeat Sensor Module detects heart rate using photoplethysmography (PPG) with an infrared LED and photodetector. It measures pulse by detecting blood volume changes in fingertip tissue.

Key features

  • Photoplethysmography-based pulse detection
  • Infrared LED + photodetector
  • Analog output
  • Low power consumption
  • Compact module
  • Easy finger placement

Good to know

  • Place fingertip gently on sensor – do not press hard
  • Ambient light affects reading – shield sensor
  • Use averaging algorithm for stable BPM reading
  • Not a medical-grade device
  • Motion artifacts affect accuracy
