//  HeartBeat / Pulse Monitoring Device //
// By MOHD SOHAIL //


#define  USE_ARDUINO_INTERRUPTS true //--> Set-up low-level interrupts for most acurate BPM  math.
#include <PulseSensorPlayground.h> //--> Includes the PulseSensorPlayground  Library. 
#include <LiquidCrystal.h> //--> Includes the LiquidCrystal Library.

LiquidCrystal  lcd(2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11); //--> Initialize LiquidCrystal with "lcd". lcd(RS,E,D4,D5,D6,D7).


const  int PulseWire = A0; //--> PulseSensor PURPLE WIRE connected to ANALOG PIN 0
const  int LED_3 = 13; //--> LED to detect when the heart is beating. The LED is connected  to PIN 3 on the Arduino UNO.
int Threshold = 550; //--> Determine which Signal  to "count as a beat" and which to ignore.
                     //--> Use the  "Gettting Started Project" to fine-tune Threshold Value beyond default setting.
                     //--> Otherwise leave the default "550" value.
