This is a plugin for OBS Studio that listens to data from Pulse Sensor Amped using the serial data provided from the Arduino example. The pulse sensor data is displayed as a component in OBS Studio. As for now, only the heart rate BPM is shown.

Here's what it looks like: https://youtu.be/iX_Zih2sVhY:

Build instructions

Assuming that you have the obs-studio environment upo and running. Also, the text_ft2_source plugin needs to be included in the environment, since it is used as a sub-source.

1. Create a new folder in the obs-studio/plugin folder, called win-pulse-sensor-amped
2. Put all source files from this repo in the new folder
3. Add the following line in the bottom of obs-studio/plugin/CMakeLists.txt: add_subdirectory(win-pulse-sensor-amped)
4. Configure/generate the obs-studio CMake project.

The plugin should now be included as a project in the Visual Studio solution generated by CMake.

Further development/limitations

• Make more use of the data received from the Arduino, right now, we only use the heart rate.

• The serial readouts is done using the Windows API, perhaps something should be added for other operating systems.
