I'm doing a heart rate mointor using a pulse sensor and a adafruit bluefruit le uart friend. I'm kind of confused on some things, since is my first time using Arduino. I'm using the example heart rate monitor from the library adafruit bluefruit nRf5. What I'm not sure is if I need to include the information of the wire connections that I'm gonna be using for the pulse sensor or use the code as it is. I'm new at this and there are so many terms I don't understand from this code. This is the code:
