Heart rate monitor using MSP430

[ashwini.nazarkar 0]

Hi,

 

I am a beginner and i am learning to code MSP430 using C++ to accept the values/ecg from simulator processing it and displaying on the 7-segment display......can anyone help me with the codes??  

It would be of great great help to me

Sure we can help, but first we need to know more about the problem. Some helpful things would be

• Code you are working with
• More information on the ECG and how you are getting the data to the msp430 (serial.SPI,etc)
• Any schematics / wiring diagrams

 

Once you give us that we can start assisting.

Halo SirPatrick,

 

ThankQ so much for the reply. Recently i have been studying alot about MSP430 but i dont understand how to implement this board for Heart Rate Monitor.

• M gonna code MSP430 with the help of Code composer studio 5.3.0 software
• I have no idea how should i get the ECG data to the MSP430   :-(  and I need to connect electrodes to myself to measurement of ECG but for instance m thinking of using ECG simulator or triangular waveform (by setting some threshold and measuring it).
• m so sorry because i dont have any schematics or any diagrams but launchpad.MSP430 board  

I have attached the flow chat of my work, please let me know if my approach is correct or not

You might want to checkout this kit made by Olimex:

It utilizes a MSP430FG439 and the included demo software should do everything you need, however it appears to be written in IAR KickStart.

Details: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/Biofeedback/MOD-EKG/  They have a PulseOx meter, too: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/Biofeedback/MOD-PULSE/
This is based on TI application note slaa280a.pdf. Might be worth a look, too.
