Heart rate detection Hardware This week, we continued the test of the second-order filter and started to compile the code. The filter that worked successfully last week failed again. We carefully checked every possible cause but still found no problems. The method was to connect the signal generator to the input of the filter and the oscilloscope to the output of the filter. A sine wave signal of a certain frequency was input and it needed to check if this signal can pass through the circuit normally. We checked the circuit and the connection was good. Next, the components were checked one by one and no problems was found. Some of the components were also replaced. However, the situation didn’t improve much. In addition to the retest of filter, the compilation of the code has also begun. We plan to display the value of heart rate on the screen of the Arduino. Only in this way can the smart watch play a practical role. Then, we simulated the filter. The result verified th

2. Heart Rate Detector (1).       Use the simple filter, the result can be observed, but with many noises . (2)      So, we build the second order filter combinated with low pass filter and high pass filter. LOW-PASS FILTER HIGH-PASS FILTER Demonstration 

Part 1 - Pedometer The whole algorithm was shown below. Part 2 - Heart Rate Sensor 1.Use simple band-pass filter (1-3Hz) to reduce the affect of the noise.  f1=1/(2*pi*R1*C1)=1Hz f2=1/(2*pi*R2*C2)=3Hz where C1=1uF           R1=560K           C2=5.3uF           R2=10K The band-pass filter with a pass-band from 1 Hz to 3 Hz to allow the heart beat signal to come through and the rest of the signal noise to be rejected.  2. Use amplifier to amplify the signal we expected.  Gain = 1 + (R2/R1) Gate= 1+1M/10K=101 The oscilloscope was used to measure the voltage drop on the photoresistor. As expect, the voltage will change because the red light through the figure will change with the oxygen content of blood. The expected result is a pulse wave similar to human heartbeat, but the amplitude was about 3mV measured by multimeter. However, the noise was larger that the pulse although a filter was connected. The noise co

WEEK 1 This smart sports watch has two main functions. First, it can detect the user's heart rate. When users are exercising, paying attention to their heart rate can better protect and regulate themselves. Next, it can detect the user's steps. For sedentary people, it plays a role in urging themselves to exercise. Heart Rate Measurement   The aim is to build a heart rate measurement using the LED and photoresistor without a pulse sensor to measure the heart rate on the finger. The materials we intend to use are photoresistor with maximum sensitivity about 650nm and Red LED with 10000mcd brightness. The principle we refer to is as follows. A heart rate is formed by two parts, the systole and the diastole. One heart rate will be measured after a systole and diastole is finished. The systole is the process that the blood is pushed to the body from the heart, conversely, the diastole occurs as blood flows back to the heart from the body. This project measures hear
