Tito Jankowski   Tito Jankowski used the Pulse Sensor in a workshop and talk for TEDx Kids in Brussels.   The opening of the above news segment shows lots of kids experimenting and playing with their hearts. Tito's full talk here.

We are happy to announce an update to our Arduino and Processing example code! Pulse Sensor Amped Arduino 1.1 Pulse Sensor Amped Processing 1.1 The new Arduino code contains an enhanced beat finding algorithm, and tidies up some inefficiencies since the last version. We have also put together a detailed walk-through of the Arduino code for your edification.

   We are announcing a big big upgrade to the Pulse Sensor today, with the release of Pulse Sensor Amped!    Pulse Sensor Amped adds amplification and noise cancellation circuitry to our original Pulse Sensor hardware.  It's noticeably faster and easier to get reliable pulse readings.  Also, Pulse Sensor Amped works with either a 3Volt and 5Volt Arduino. We've discontinued our previous Pulse Sensor models because this one is so darn good. Lastly, we've also streamlined and improved the included Processing visualization software and Arduino code. This is our 3rd generation Pulse Sensor, and definitely our sweetest hardware and software...

Some folks in Belfast have created an interactive entertainment platform called Sensum, and it looks really cool ! "Sensum integrates emotional response reporting into any media and is universally compatible with a wide range of platforms and devices." Wow. Catch up on all the biofeedback-in-entertainment news on their tumbler. The company behind Sensum is called Filmtrip, and they are not new to this kind of thing. Here's a project of theirs called Biosuite, and a great article in the New Scientist. They backed our Kickstarter last year (You Rock!) and just made a video to demo Pulse Sensor sending data...
