During the First Meeting of Electronic Arts in Florianópolis, we built a Breathalyzer using the Alcohol Gas Sensor MQ-3 and a Arduino Board to use in the last day of the meeting, in which we gave a party. You can see a quick video two posts below. Last days I received many emails asking for …
I have been researching a project which will help me with my understanding of electronics, networking, and programming. I decided to build an online thermometer which could be used in applications that need temperature monitoring. I currently work in a lab environment where I test, troubleshoot, and calibrate equipment which is installed in nuclear power plants …
*** Additional info at http://droidalyzer.com/talkingbreathalyzer/index.html *** A customizable Breathalyzer that talks and tells you how much you’ve had to drink. It’s also open source and can easily be modified with your own text on the LCD screen and audio MP3 files. When tethered to a PC with a USB cable, it has additional features including character animations, …
Movies look cool with those EKG (electrocardiogram), the one that beeps and detects heart activities. A few months ago, we had to shoot a hospital scene for our school project. We needed an EKG instrument. To keep the movie authentic, we didn’t want to fake the readings so we made the next best thing, a …

down vote favorite I have a minor issue with my ECG. When I poke at the leads, I get a reading. But when I hold the leads or place it near my heart, I don’t get anything. I’m pretty sure this is hardware related, but I don’t want to completely rule out a potential software problem. …
Arduino – Cannot get ECG readings from heart, but I do when I poke at the leads Read More »
Introduction: Like many out there, I enjoy a good exercise session, whether it be indoors or outdoors. As part of that I purchased a Polar branded heart rate monitor, which came with a “Wearlink” chest strap and RS300Xsd receiver watch. The watch is able to do quite a bit of analysis on its own, in …
Goals: The project goals are: Adjustable number of detents Adjustable foce threshold Software controlled damping Implementation: A brief overview: The team’s design utilizes several components: Arduino Leonardo Firgelli L16-50-35-12-P actuators (2x) FSRs (4x) TI L293D H bridge MSU Eagle custom PCB print The Arduino microcontroller is the heart of the team’s project. This microcontroller …
Introduction Electrodes on the skin can be used to measure muscle (electromyography, EMG) brain (electroencephalography, EEG) and heart (electrocardiogram, ECG/EKG) activity. These electrophysiological measures are popular for clinical, research and hobbyist applications (such as brain computer interfaces). Most commercial systems are “medical grade” – these expensive systems offer high precision (16-24 bits), participant electrical isolation …
In this project we are going to make a Heart Beat Detection and Monitoring System using Arduino that will detect the heart beat using the Pulse Sensor and will show the readings in BPM (Beats Per Minute) on the LCD connected to it. It will also send the readings to ThingSpeak server using the Wi-Fi module ESP8266, …
Heart Beat Monitoring over Internet using Arduino and ThingSpeak Read More »
Heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure monitoring are very important parameters of human body. Doctors use various kind of medical apparatus like thermometer for checking fever or body temperature, BP monitor for blood pressure measurement and heart rate monitor for heart rate measurement. In this project, we have built an Arduino based heartbeat monitor which counts …
