Hi :)

I recently bought the Olimex msp-430 oximeter and i`m trying to connect it to arduino MEGA 2560 and recieve analog values for saturaion and pulse. How can i do it?

Hello,

You can use the UEXT pins of MOD-PULSE. They have pins suitable for UART connection. More specifically:

UEXT pin #3 is UART RX (UART receive). It should be connected to the TX of you Arduino MEGA 2560 (for example, PIN #18 - TXD1 at the communication connector).

UEXT pin #4 is UART TX (UART transmit). It should be connected to the RX of you Arduino MEGA 2560 (for example, PIN #19 - RXD1 at the communication connector).

Best regards,
