Some PulseSensor Practices

Julia and I have been practicing working with the PulseSensor (especially before we proposed an entire project on this sensor) and we were pleasantly surprised at the ease of use we had with it considering the horror stories we've heard about it.

We downloaded the pulsesensor examples for arduino and processing at PulseSensor.com and while the initial readings were not that accurate and very sporadic, we figured out the tighter we held the sensor to a good pulse point and the less movement we had in the area touching the sensor, the easier time we had recording it. Definitely something we need to think about as our project progresses.
