Things I Learned
- When using pulse sensors, be careful of their positioning. Once the circuit is past prototyping, ensure the connections and mounting are stable otherwise the readings will be unpredictable.
- How to create a switch with saline solution. The movement of the salt ions allows the current to travel and closes the circuit.
