Easy Pulse board provides a reflective IR sensor with necessary instrumentation circuit to illustrate the principle of photoplethysmography as a noninvasive technique for measuring heart rate. It uses the TCRT1000 reflective optical sensor to sense the blood variation in the finger tissue and outputs a digital pulse which is synchronous with the heart beat. The output pulse can be fed to either an ADC channel or a digital input pin of a microcontroller for further processing and retrieving the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).

Currently, the PCB’s are out of stock on Tindie. Is there anywhere else I can purchase them?
Mind if I ask who fabbed the boards?
Hi Michael,
I used a Chinese company named Kaden PCB, which I found on Alibaba. I am pretty happy with the first service. I have few more orders coming up in next two weeks. Then I am thinking about writing a brief review of their PCB service.
Thanks,
Raj
