A Library of Examples!
🤓 Install our Arduino Library for a collection of our most popular and most up-to-date code examples!
This video shows you the best way to install the PulseSensor.com code examples.
An Arduino Library is a collection of code and examples on a specific topic or device. For example, our PulseSensor Playground Library is a collection of code and projects made just for your PulseSensor and Arduino.
To install the PulseSensor Playground Library, in Arduino, to go Sketch > Include Library > Manage Library...
In the Library Manager: Search for and Select "PulseSensor.com
Install or update to the lastest version.👍
Hurray! Once this library is installed you will see our examples in Arduino's dropdown! To select an example project, go to: `File > Examples > PulseSensor Playground > GettingStartedProject`.
