Steps
- Plan how all 4 sensors connect to the Arduino Mega and share power.
- Get each sensor working on its own: ECG, pressure, temperature, and respiration.
- Integrate all sensors into one program that updates the LCD and logs to the microSD card.
- Build a simple dashboard that shows every vital sign together.
- Compare each reading to a reference device or manual measurement.
- Document the system and accuracy results for your portfolio.
What to photograph for your portfolio
