A subgoal is to use the resulting board design as a kit build with diy PCB&#039;s using the toner transfer method.<br /> <br /> In the process I&#039;m learning and teaching about heart voltages, amplification circuits, and signal processing. The circuit uses a small DC current for safety.<br /> <br /> I plan to work on other signals (EEG, temperature, blood pressure, etc) but decided to start with ECG. Maybe it&#039;s just the romantic in me. :)<br /> <br /> Once I get a clean signal, I&#039;m going to investigate the use of Arduino/Atmega microcontorllers and Xilinx FPGA boards (Spartan 3E is what I have access to) as a means of processing and interface control.<br /> <br /> Ongoing [[DIY_ECG_notes]].<br /> <br /> == News ==<br /> <br /> * 5/11/2010<br /> ** Sad face. Won&#039;t be going to MF, had to cancel. Too much going on. Next year!<br /> <br /> * 3/11/2010<br /> ** I&#039;d better get moving, I was just accepted to Maker Faire. :-O<br /> <br /> * 1/21/2010<br /> ** Applying to maker faire. Would be great to teach some folks what I&#039;ve learned doing this and what I&#039;ll learn between now and then. I&#039;m really naive about this stuff compared to a scientist which makes it all the more exciting.<br /> <br /> * 1/20/2010<br /> ** Mitch Altman has invited my ECG project to be displayed at The Next HOPE in NYC this summer after some discussion on the Noisebridge list. I can&#039;t wait to see what kind of collaboration comes of this. Robotic real time hearts anyone?<br /> <br /> * 12/29/2010<br /> ** Finished the first circuit, guided by online examples and tested on a real person! Realized the crosstalk from the unshielded wires and the rows in the breadboard were a recipe for disaster. Many improvements to make!<br /> <br /> == Contact ==<br /> <br /> I&#039;m [[User:Obscurite]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Previous_Projects]]</div>
