Introduction
Hardware
The ECG device can be built easily (in less than 1 hour) and only a very basic electronics skills
are needed.
The simple circuit design and layout are a good compromise for having both a low cost and
good performance. It is based on few boards to be connected together:
•
ECG module AD8232 (Module Single-Lead, Heart Rate Monitor Front End)
•
Arduino Nano board
•
HC-05 (or HC-06) Bluetooth module
Few connections are needed (connector cables and/or soldering)
Software
No software programming knowledge is required since all you need is to install the App by
opening the apk file from an Android smartphone and to upload the provided Arduino sketch
on the Arduino board (this can be done easily by using the Arduino Software IDE and one of
the many tutorials available on the web).
