Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 2 Heart rate example for the SiLabs biometrics board using the Si1146
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 3
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 4 Since their own example code is all hidden behind precompiled libraries, here an
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 5 example which is actually useful :D. Take into account this is an example, I just screwed
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 6 around a bit and observed some output waveforms to make it work reasonable, there are
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 7 for sure better ways to implement this.

Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 9 User manual:
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 10 If the Gecko symbol turns on on the LCD it is connected to the sensor
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 11 Place your finger on the sensor. In the biometrics board manual it is explained how,
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 12 but you can also try until it works properly. You don't want to use the extreme tip of your
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 13 finger, but a bit further back.
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 14 The battery indicator will flash briefly when a beat is detected.
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 15
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 16 Every beat it re-calculates your heartbeat using the time of the previous beat, since no
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 17 filtering happens here, it can jump around a bit, but this should be limitted.
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 18
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 19 And just to be sure since we can never overestimate human stupidity: This is not a medical tool...
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 20
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 21
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 22 Todo:
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 23 1. Get rid of my hardcoded value used as threshold
Sissors 0:f3705ec14cf0 24 2. Measure PO2
