A Simple Library For Getting ECG On Arduino

This document summarizes a project that uses a library to get ECG data from a uECG device onto an Arduino board. The required components are an Arduino, nRF24 wireless module, OLED display, and uECG device. The library handles connecting these components and retrieving raw and processed ECG data from the uECG device to display on the OLED screen or print to the serial monitor. While the code may seem complex, the library simplifies accessing the ECG data. Some data loss over the wireless connection is normal due to bandwidth limitations but the library still allows retrieving heart rate and other metrics calculated on the uECG device.

A Simple Library for Getting ECG on Arduino

by the_3d6

This project illustrates how to get raw and processed ECG data from uECG device using this library

Project requires:
- Arduino
- nRF24 module (any)
- OLED (for showing data, can print them to serial monitor instead)
- uECG device for measuring ECG and transmitting it via radio

Step 1: Schematics

Arduino connections are standard: nRF24 module via SPI like in any other example (you can connect CS and CE wires to
di erent pins if you want to, just need to adjust numbers in the code), OLED module via I2C also like in any other example

Step 2: Code

Make sure you have installed RF24 library (for, well, uECG.run() and uECG.getBPM/steps/ECG/whatever -
