More Chinese Goodies.
Update - the "Touch Me" LED was quite easily fixed by re-making some of the solder joints.

    that's a very fast heart rate buddy i'd be checking it at rest – 60bps is more normal – if its accurate i'd be popping off to the quacks for a check up!

    Hi Julien. I’ve been experimenting with sensors and Arduino for about three months–obsessively. 🙂 your videos are the best. Whenever I open my pile of Chinese packets (every day) I think of you.

    Do you think it’s possible to use that OLED? Or is it too hard to connect to it and get it to work? Do all of them require different drivers?

    Thats a huge sized oxymeter. Smaller ones using Aaa battery are great

    That heart rate was terrible for so little exercise. A visit to the doc would be a good idea.

    looking at the lipo fuel gauge datasheet I see the words "protection ic" do they mean that is external or does that fuel gauge have its own protection ?

    Julian, I bought one of those "CMS50D+" same brand and color OLED with memory and USB dump to software for $40 from China, They work a treat! Used it to self-diagnose for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. My sats went down into the 80's several times while I slept. Let's you print out your graphs and everything. Bought an illegal CPAP machine from a friend who didn't like it and now I sleep great and my sleeping sats are normal, saved $4000 for a sleep lab and unit!! By the by, your high resting pulse and slightly low oxy-sat can be a symptom of that. -Steve in California
