Author Topic: Can I use PulseSensor if I get only Digispark? (Read 3879 times)

Hello. I'm very new to Arduino. However, I want to use the PulseSensor.

I heard that PulseSensor is usable if DigiSpark has analog input. Can I use PulseSensor if I get only Digispark? Is there anything else I need?

And... If I want to use power supply from the battery, do I need Boost Shield Kits and 2xAA Battery Holder?

Thank you.

The pulse sensor appears to a standard sensor 3 wire connector. You would either need some 22 gauge jumper wire to connect the 3 pins of the 3 wire connector to the digispark, or you would get breakout board A which I believe the sensor would plug directly into. You would be able to use pins p2 - p5 to read from the sensor.

There are many different battery scenarios. It might be useful if the team could list them.

Hi MichaelMeissner,

Thank you for your advice!

I think that I will pledge Breakout Shield A Kits in consideration of various methods. I look forward to Digispark.

It is interesting for me..
