Hi all, As Ian said i'm working in a EKG prototype with the assistance of a professor and alumni of my uni, The process has been stoped due to intersemestral vacations but we have a working prototype, although we still need a lot of improvements.
So i guess in two weeks or so we will continue with the development. I hope soon, i can upload the footprint of the prototype, and all the related info. Cheers!
