Getting BPM To Monitor

1) This sketch prints a user's live heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) to the serial monitor using the PulseSensor Playground library. 2) It blinks an LED on pin 13 with each detected heartbeat and prints "♥ A HeartBeat Happened !" to the serial monitor. 3) The sketch creates a PulseSensorPlayground object called "pulseSensor" to read pulse data from an analog pin and threshold value to determine valid heartbeats.

--------Use This Sketch To------------------------------------------
1) Displays user's live and changing BPM, Beats Per Minute, in Arduino's native
Serial Monitor.
2) Print: "♥ A HeartBeat Happened !" when a beat is detected, live.
2) Learn about using a PulseSensor Library "Object".
4) Blinks LED on PIN 13 with user's Heartbeat.
