AD8232 Class Reference

UPM module for the AD8232 Heart Rate Monitor. More...

Detailed Description

• ID: ad8232
• Name: Single Lead Heart Rate Monitor
• Category: medical
• Manufacturer: sparkfun
• Link: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12650
• Connection: gpio analog

Note: this sensor must be driven at 3.3V only.

This module simply spits out the ADC values reported by the sensor, with the intent to send that data, via serial or network port, somewhere to another piece of software running on a computer that plots the data for you, like an EKG.

Processing (https://www.processing.org/) is software that should work, using information from the SparkFun* website.

This example just dumps the raw data:

    // Instantiate a Ad8232 sensor on digital pins 10 (LO+), 11 (LO-)
    // and an analog pin, 0 (OUTPUT)
    upm::AD8232 ad8232(10, 11, 0);

    // Output the raw numbers from the ADC, for plotting elsewhere.
    // A return of 0 indicates a Lead Off (LO) condition.
    // In theory, this data could be fed to software like Processing
    // (https://www.processing.org/) to plot the data just like an
    // EKG you would see in a hospital.
    while (shouldRun) {
        cout << ad8232.value() << endl;
        upm_delay_us(1000);
    }
