There are three sets of sounds: the first sounds produced are […]


Now includes an overlayed base-rate and a Max Patch component. Press the button on the front to start the base rate/ resting rate sound and LEDs to know how far from rest your pulse is – press it again to raise the rate and work to match it: goal rate. This can be raise three […]

So I’ve strung together an IR emitter/detector with two resistors with a little help from my friends at http://www.picotech.com/experiments/calculating_heart_rate/index.html. these are attached […]
