Arduino Based Heart Rate Monitor Project

This document describes an Arduino-based heart rate monitor project. The project uses a heartbeat sensor module connected to an Arduino to detect heartbeats and calculate the heart rate in beats per minute. It displays the measured heart rate on an LCD screen. The heartbeat sensor detects changes in blood flow with each heartbeat. The Arduino reads pulses from the sensor and uses the timing between pulses to calculate the rate. Buttons allow starting measurement and resetting the displayed value.
