I'm making a heart beat sensor that will be outputted to an arduino that is displayed on an LCD screen.
I have attached a circuit, i tried making this but i understand this will just amplify a analogue input however i would like the analogue input to be converted to a digital output.
i'm thinking about using a op amp to compare the voltage of the IR detector to the supply voltage and placing my finger over the IR emitter for a heartbeat.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Thank you
