Wireless Vital-monitoring Armband

In this project, we built an Arduino driven wireless armband that monitors ones vital signs and relays the information to a nearby computer. We built this armband over a course of three weeks and learned a lot over the course of the project.

Step 1: Parts

In order to complete this project we used:

-Arduino Uno (2)
-A pair of Xbee series 2 radio transmitters
-16 pin lcd screen
-2 Xbee explorers ( we didn't have two, so we got creative and used an Arduino lilypad Xbee shield instead)
-Pulse Sensor
-Potentiometer
-LM35 Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensor ( We ordered a body temperature sensor, but it still hasn't arrived...so this is a substitute)
-velcro
-soldering tools
-header pins
-an arm band
-a project box
-two breadboards and assorted wires
