Easily monitor ECG and respiration using your Arduino with this plug-in shield. This product's version 2 adds a new SPI pin header, making it compatible with newer Arduino devices such as the Arduino Yun, as well as a 3.5mm connector for the electrodes. We now include the electrodes and cable with the shield. The 3.5 mm circular connector provides an easy way to connect electrodes to the shield. The other end of this cable has snaps for standard ECG electrodes. We also include a pack of 10 disposable EG electrodes. It accepts two ECG electrodes and one Driven Right Leg (DRL) electrode for common mode noise reduction. Another interesting feature of this shield is that you can also measure the respiratory activity using the same two electrodes connected to the shield. The ADS1292R uses a method known as impedance pneumography to measure respiration using the changes in chest impedance caused by respiration.
