Make an OScope, signal generator, and pulse oximeter measurement circuitry in 2 days!

Patrick Kane, Steven Leeb

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/09
Limited to 30 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: Programming, circuits, soldering experience helpful

Learn about the analog capabilities of Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) products. We will teach you how to make a simple Pulse Oximeter Analog Front End (AFE) with a PSoC 4, and how to use a PSoC 5LP as a function generator and oscilloscope to test the Pulse Oximeter AFE.
One problem with creating analog solutions is that they usually require a complicated analog lab. This makes presenting analog solutions cumbersome because you need to bring an oscilloscope. Instead, we will show you how to build your own PSoC 5LP based Simple Oscilloscope to allow you to see your pulse waveform with only a laptop and a few USB ports. Learn to program the PSOC 5LP as a simple function generator and simple oscilloscope.
Next we will use a PSoC 4 to build a Pulse Oximeter Analog Front End, and use the Simple Oscope to measure the detected heartbeat signal. Each attendee will leave the class with their own PSoC 5 LP OScope/Signal generator, a PSoC 4 - 042 kit, and the pulse oximeter interface board.
