Description

The Heart BioAmp Candy is a purpose-built ECG sensor module that simplifies the acquisition of electrocardiogram signals. It integrates a high-precision instrumentation amplifier with a fixed gain of x2157 and a dedicated bandpass filter (0.5-34 Hz) to isolate the cardiac frequency band, effectively suppressing baseline wander and high-frequency noise. This design ensures stable, readable waveforms suitable for heart rate variability analysis, basic arrhythmia detection, and physiological education.

Constructed as open-source hardware, the module provides full schematic and layout access, empowering researchers, students, and makers to modify or integrate the circuit into custom biomedical devices. Its three-electrode configuration (Positive, Negative, Reference) follows standard clinical lead placements, and the wide 3.3V-5V supply range guarantees compatibility with a vast ecosystem of ADC-based microcontrollers and single-board computers without requiring additional signal conditioning.

Key Features

  • Optimized single-channel biopotential front-end with x2157 fixed gain for strong, noise-resistant ECG signals.
  • Integrated 0.5-34 Hz analog bandpass filter removes DC offset and muscle noise, delivering focused cardiac data.
  • Wide operating voltage range (2.7V to 5V) ensures compatibility with 3.3V and 5V logic systems without external level shifters.
  • Compact and durable PCB design (35mm x 15mm) enables wearable integration and portable monitoring solutions.
  • Fully open-source platform (hardware + software) supports advanced customization, research reproducibility, and educational use.
  • Standard 3-pin electrode interface (POS, NEG, REF) supports disposable gel electrodes or reusable snap connectors.

Applications

  • Portable and wearable heart rate monitoring for fitness, wellness, and remote patient observation.
  • Educational demonstrations and hands-on labs for physiology, biomedical engineering, and signal processing courses.
  • Prototyping and research for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, basic arrhythmia detection, and psychophysiology studies.
  • Integration into custom health-tech devices, smart clothing, and IoT-based biometric data loggers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Heart BioAmp Candy?

The Heart BioAmp Candy operates from a wide 2.7V to 5V DC supply, making it directly compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, and STM32 boards without requiring a separate voltage regulator.

How do I connect this ECG sensor to my microcontroller?

Connect the module's VCC and GND to your board's power supply (3.3V or 5V). The analog output pin connects directly to any ADC input channel on your microcontroller (e.g., A0 on Arduino). Use the included 3-pin BioAmp cable to attach the POS, NEG, and REF leads to your electrodes placed on the body.

What does the fixed x2157 gain and 0.5-34 Hz filter do?

The fixed x2157 gain amplifies the microvolt-level ECG signal from the body to a robust voltage range readable by a standard ADC. The analog 0.5-34 Hz bandpass filter simultaneously removes low-frequency baseline drift (below 0.5 Hz) and high-frequency muscle noise (above 34 Hz), isolating the clinically relevant cardiac signal for clearer waveform visualization and analysis.

Is software provided for reading and visualizing the ECG data?

Yes, as an open-source platform, Upside Down Labs provides example Arduino sketches and Python code for basic data acquisition. For advanced visualization and analysis, you can use serial plotter tools, Processing sketches, or data streaming software like Python with Matplotlib to plot real-time ECG waveforms from the sensor's analog output.
