Dear wise, does anybody know any heartbeat sensor with which I can use my Raspi for showing the heartbeat of a person connected to that sensor by a LED which is connected to the Raspi?
Greetings

It looks to be well specified for the task but it is quite pricey @

As I recall, most "pulse sensors" (finger-tip type) are nothing more than a photoresistor or other light-sensitive unit, with an optional light emitter using a frequency that passes through skin, but not blood... One then detects the fluctuating transmission level as the capillaries (and feeders) swell/reduce in time to blood pressure.

Thanks also to you, Dennis, with the link from Alister I only had to look for the model-number SEN-11574 and I found

Or just the board for a fiver from China.
With the addition of a IR (940 nm) diode and a bit of switching/data processing you can add O2 readings as well. "Disposable / single
but I can't quickly find anywhere selling adult ones singly, only of boxes of 24 and several hundred quid...

search for "pulse oximeter finger", but none of them seem to have any data output ports, so you'd have to hack into it if you want to connect it to an RPi. Still, at those prices, you can afford to wreck one or two while working out how to get power in and data out if it.

The cheap ones are a tenner but most are 40 ish. The OLED display one is tempting ...
Earlier digging indicated that the disposable sensors where just the two LEDs and light sensor wired to the connenctor. You'd have to make the Pi flash the LEDs and read the analogue light sensor. After working out if it's and LDR or photo transistor I suepect the latter.
ng > out how to get power in and data out if it.
Power in should be doddle, they run off a couple of 1.5 V cells so
3.3 V from the Pi should be OK (brand new alaklines are over 1.6 V). Data out might be harder or just chuck the guts and use the housing/leds/light sensor. This might be better than a single use sensor, unless you can get a single use clip on rather than stick on.-- Cheers Dave.
Prices as of yesterday off US and UK Amazon respectively, so excluding P&P.
Maybe I should get one to play with: it would be a useful addition to my Mountain High continuous flow oxygen set.

All three pulse only. This thread has diverged into pulse oximeters. B-) Two LEDs, one visible red the other IR at 940 nm. But either version is easy enough to build but getting a nice case for the diode(s) and photo sensor is the hard bit as always,
-- Cheers Dave.
Exactly so, which is why I suggested hacking into an existing unit to extract raw or processed data and, maybe, to supply power.

What about an off-the-shelf Bluetooth enabled one? It would provide more data than just heart rate.
