Build Your Personal Resting Heart Rate Monitor — Arduino Nano Kit with MAX30102 Sensor

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine measuring your resting heart rate with a device you built yourself. In just one button press, this kit's MAX30102 sensor captures 30 seconds of pulse data and lights up an LED to show your average BPM. It’s a perfect introduction to wearable health tech and Arduino programming, letting you see your own heartbeat translated into a simple, glowing signal.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact heart rate monitor that clips onto your fingertip (or rests on the breadboard). Place your finger on the sensor, start the measurement, and after 30 seconds a red LED flashes your average beats per minute. The circuit is simple, the code is clear, and the result feels like a real medical gadget — a confidence-boosting first project that blends biology, physics, and coding.

What You'll Learn

• How optical heart rate sensors use light absorption to detect blood flow
• Reading I2C sensor data with Arduino Nano and the MAX30102 library
• Implementing a simple averaging algorithm for stable resting BPM values
• Prototyping a wearable‑inspired design on a breadboard with LEDs as output

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This beginner‑friendly project suits CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring sensor‑based biology or physics models, ATL Tinkering Lab members, and young makers (age 10+) participating in school science fairs. It also fits first‑year B.Tech ECE/EEE labs introducing I2C sensors, and junior innovators at Smart India Hackathon looking for a quick health‑tech prototype.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
