Dive into electronics projects and read wireless heart - rate data in less than 10 minutes with this educational kit for Polar wireless heart rate bands. Ideal for students, hobbyists, engineers, and artists aiming to add biometric interactivity to their electronics, it's the simplest way to do so. There's no need for gel, probes, calibration, or clips. Just strap on the band and detect heartbeats from up to 4 feet away. Note: this is not a developer pack and not for product development. Polar wants product developers to contact them for OEM licensing. Pack includes a Polar T34 Heart Rate Transmitter, a Polar Heart Rate Receiver, a 2xAA battery holder, a tiny breadboard, a 10mm red LED, a 1K ohm resistor, and header pins. You'll also need a microcontroller (like Arduino) to read the logic level from the receiver and blink the LED. The Polar T34 Non - Coded Heart Rate Transmitter monitors and wirelessly sends heart rate data from the chest strap to a compatible receiver. It can be paired with Polar WearLink+ compatible gym equipment. Key features include wireless heart rate data transmission without conductive gel, water - resistance up to 30 meters, a battery lasting up to 2,500 hours, an adjustable elastic strap, and a removable, machine - washable textile strap. The Polar Heart Rate Receiver gets heart beat signals from compatible sensors, indicates received signals with a LOW/HIGH output, and wirelessly interfaces with transmitters up to four feet away.
Using this product is easy. First, strap the Polar T34 heart rate transmitter around your chest. Make sure the adjustable elastic strap fits you well. Then, insert the batteries into the 2xAA battery holder. Connect the heart rate receiver to your microcontroller (like Arduino). Once everything is set up, the receiver will start getting heart beat signals from the transmitter. Remember, this pack is for educational and hobby use, not for product development. Don't assume it will guarantee product approval. When it comes to maintenance, the textile strap of the transmitter is removable and machine - washable. This helps keep it bacteria - free. The battery in the transmitter lasts up to 2,500 hours but is non - user replaceable. If you have any issues with the battery, consider reaching out to the manufacturer. Also, since the device is water - resistant up to 30 meters, you can use it in wet environments, but avoid submerging it for too long.
