Hi!
Is it possible to trigger a hand pulse sensor (like almost every treadmill or speedbike has) with an arduino?
If yes: How?
Thanks!
Probably yes.
How: can't say as it depends on the details of the workings of specific sensor you like to emulate/trigger, which you didn't post.

I would have posted the details of the specific sensor if I had more informations...
It is a "default" sensor where you put both your hands on to get the heartrate.
I think they use the differential voltage of the two readers - but what amount of voltage I could test with? 1µV? 3.3V? I don't want to destroy the whole electronic...
Without specific information no answer can be given.
Yes, it is quite possible to trigger/read pulses with a MCU. Have you tried using the words "arduino heartbeat detector" in your favorite internet search engine and see what pops up?

Hi Idahowalker, thanks for that message - but there are only projects to get the heartbeat into the arduino - I want the other way -> I want the arduino to get heartbeats into the treadmill.

What does that mean?

I want to send my heartrate to the treadmill...
I do have an ANT+/Bluetooth HRM / Belt but the treadmill supports only Polar uncoded signals - so I can buy a 5GHz transmitter to simulate the Polar HRM or use the handpulse sensors...

How will you measure the heart rate?
Will you be using some x-device to measure heartbeats and use the arduino, which will receive heartbeat data, to send the heart beat data to the treadmill?
Or will you use the Arduino to measure the heartbeat and, also, send the heartbeat to the treadmill?
Or will, by some force, cause the Arduino to know what the heartbeat is and send what it knows to the treadmill?

First step: sending a random Heartbeat...
You want to use the Arduino as a simulator/emulator to send Polar encoded signals over a fitness port, either ANT+ or BT HRM, to your treadmill, correct?

No - the "fitness port" of the treadmill is either a polar uncoded signal or a hanpulse sensor.
[EDIT] BLE or ANT+ (ANT+ prefered) should be used to get the heartrate with my HR-Belt into the Arduino [/EDIT]
Sorry, I'm lost. Perhaps someone else can help you. good luck.
