Qu3Uk,
I did get a chance to test with a Fitbit recently. It technically worked, but not all that well. The thing is, the Fitbit only advertises every 2 seconds so latency is a bit high. But worse, its apps really want to be connected to it often to sync; and whenever it's connected, it stops advertising and the detector then can't pick it up.
TommySharp,
At this point I don't plan to modify the board much but having it read environmental sensors would be a cool feature!
For that, would be nice to make little beacons that read sensors and advertise/broadcast the readings every few seconds. Then they could be very low-power, run on coin-cells for months, and could be placed anywhere instead of needing it to be hooked up to USB power like the main board is. Like these: https://sen.se/peanuts/ I'm curious if it could read them.
As for enclosures, I know. I would love to have some nice ones but at this point I'm making too many boards to 3D print enclosures, but too few to afford injection-molding tooling to make a custom case.
@victus Im not familiar with this components you mention, you need to test yourself, cant help you with the technical stuff.
It does not seem to be a fully functional ECG but a heart rate monitor. As epierre said above, you need to define if you want to monitor or have a fully functional ECG, its a big difference. With a monitor all you get is pretty much your heartrate and you can detect arytmias. A fully working ECG is normally made with 12 leads and is used to in detail know how the electrical depolarisation from different time and direction/place within the heart muscle works. Holter is a example of a heart rate monitor over time.
Sorry, no. Realised modern phones BT goes into sleep mode which means they don't announce themselves for longer periods. Kind of made it meaningless for the application.

I also on my last work removed the LG33, it's faster
Well this most likely have been provided as info, but else it's here:
Remember to burn new OPTIBOOT 8MHz into the Arduino Pro Mini
and then I also use avrdude with a usbtinyISP to set the fuse to not check battery voltage monitoring, this is done after I have flashed this with Arduino IDE
avrdude -c usbtiny -p m328p -U efuse:w:0x07:m```
@OldSurferDude I use this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-Solenoid-for-Battery-Operated-Timer-57861/203151515
Instead of having to hold the valve open, i can just pulse it. I use a simple motor controller to pulse it and when i need to close it, pulse it in "reverse". That way I could use a battery and if it only opens once or twice a day it's only a half a second or so of draw off the battery.
