Steve_hi Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi. I have put this cicuit together and checked it many times and cant get it to work. It's supposed to hook to a computer through the sound card and using a program provided by the author of the schematic show a wave form on the monitor but I cant get it to work I have gone over my circuit many times but I cant find anything wrong with it any help would be greatly appreciated.Here is the link to the site for full detailshttp://www.eng.utah.edu/~jnguyen/ecg/instructions.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Did you connect the ECG circuit through a 100 ohm resistor in series with a 4.7uF non-polar coupling capacitor (or two 10uF polarized elactrolytics back-to-back) to the microphone input on your sound card?The resistor stops the last opamp from oscillating when it is driving the capacitance of a shielded cable to the sound card.Which opamps did you use?The schematic doesn't show connections to the power supply pins of the opamps and a supply bypass capacitor is missing.

Kevin Weddle Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 You might want to narrow the problem down. Many things have to go right with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
