Heart Beat Visualization

Good day Everyone !

Can someone explain me what type of raw data the heart pulse sensor gives ? I suppose it is an analogue representation of heat pulses.

Is there any way that translates analogue representation into meaningful digital data ?
I would like to use to create an artistic project.

Working with heart pulse sensor, in Arduino and online codes, I managed to visualize my heart beat.
But I don't know what should be the following steps to translate the data ?

Would appreciate advice from someone who has more experience than I :))

Can someone explain me what type of raw data the heart pulse sensor gives ?

Which heart pulse sensor would that be ?

Hello ! Thank you for the reply :slight_smile:
I use this simple non medical sensor

Sorry, but a picture tells us little or nothing.

Can you please provide a link to the device or its specification ?

I think the data coming from the sensor is analog, but I wonder how is it possible to translate this analog data to digital (and whether it is possible to do it at all )

Please post the details: how you connected everything, what code you used and how you visualized the heart beat.

After, of course, reading the "How to use this forum" post.

I would suggest you give this a read:

Yes, the data is read as analog and like any analog data it can be charted and recorded. What becomes important in an ECG or EKG is reading the pulses since there is much, much more to it than just counting pulse per unit of time to get a rate. Each part of the pulse represents a function of the heart.
