TFT Heart Rate Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno
Build a Bouncing Heart Pulse Monitor on TFT with Arduino Uno – Complete Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Watch your pulse come alive as a beating heart that expands and contracts with every heartbeat, while a waveform trace scrolls across a vibrant colour display. This kit transforms raw sensor data from the MAX30102 into an engaging, interactive health monitor — a perfect introduction to how makers and engineers turn biological signals into meaningful visuals.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a portable device that reads your heart rate through your fingertip. Place your finger on the MAX30102 sensor and the 1.8-inch TFT screen instantly shows a heart icon bouncing to your BPM. Below it, a real-time waveform captures every pulse peak, letting you literally see your heartbeat pattern. The entire system runs on an Arduino Uno and can be powered by a 9V battery, making it a self-contained project you can proudly share at school science fairs or maker showcases.
What You'll Learn
- Interface the MAX30102 optical pulse sensor with an Arduino Uno and extract heart rate data
- Write code to draw dynamic graphics on a TFT ST7735 display, including animated icons and live charts
- Process noisy sensor signals using simple averaging to stabilise BPM readings
- Design a user-friendly visual interface that translates invisible biosignals into colourful, moving elements

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers from CBSE Class 6 upwards who love seeing data turn into action — and the ATL Tinkering Lab students who crave real sensor projects. This kit fits school biotechnology displays, introductory Arduino workshops at hobby clubs, and any 5–15-year-old who asks “how do fitness bands measure my heartbeat?”. It bridges biology and coding in a hands-on way that sticks.
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.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to talk to the AI companion, which knows every step of this kit. If you need human help, message us on WhatsApp — we respond quickly.
Does the kit include the 9V battery?
No, the battery itself is not included; the kit provides the battery snap connector. You’ll need a standard 9V battery, available at any local electronics or general store.
Is coding experience required to build this?
None at all. The provided code is fully commented and ready to upload. The AI companion also explains each line so beginners can understand what the program does.
Can I change the display to show only the BPM number?
Absolutely. The code is open and modifiable. With the AI companion’s guidance, you can easily replace the bouncing heart with a large numeric readout or add a second screen.
