EK-TM4C123GXL: Heart Beat Sensor (Arduino Based) for my launchpad

Part Number: EK-TM4C123GXL

Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on a heart beat monitor application for a Tiva C series LaunchPad. I have purchased an Arduino based heart beat sensor and am looking for validation in my hypothesis. I am a student and new to TI and designing systems. The heart beat sensor is from pulsesensor.com and outputs an analog signal.

From browsing the pulsesensor.com website I found this starter project, PulseSensor_StarterProject_Arduino. This starter project free online and is quite simple. It simply reads the analog signal in, if the analog signal is greater than the threshold value (550) the LED is turned on. Otherwise, the LED is turned off. 

I'm thinking I can quite easily mimic this behavior using my LaunchPad, but thought I'd come here and ask to see if I was making too many assumptions / missing something. I would like to link to the github page, but it formats it strangely within the post when I do...

I would really appreciate the help,

Thanks,

Jaren
