PSP Heart Rate Monitor v1

It’d be hard to come up with a list of things Sony’s handheld can’t do. Now users can monitor their heartbeat on the PSP, thanks to Art’s newly released PSP Heart Rate Monitor.

Getting started will however require a bit of hardware know-how, as Art explains in the readme.

As you probably guessed this needs a bit of a hardware hack to get it working,
but for anyone who can solder, it’s a snap. Just a coil of copper wire connected across the PSP microphone input becomes the antenna for a wireless chest transmitter. The coil must be so close to the transmitter that it’s “virtually wired” now.
