KY-039 Finger Detection Heartbeat Sensor Module (IR Optical Pulse Sensor, 3.3V-5V, Analog Output)
The KY-039 Finger Detection Heartbeat Sensor Module is a compact optical pulse sensing module designed to detect heartbeats by measuring changes in blood flow through a fingertip. It uses an infrared LED and a phototransistor to detect variations in light intensity caused by blood circulation, generating an analog output signal that can be processed by a microcontroller. Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, Raspberry Pi (with ADC), and other development platforms, this module is ideal for educational projects, DIY health monitoring, biomedical experiments, and embedded electronics.
