//# Heartrate-matcher
// CODE TO READ AND DISPLAY HEARTRATE
-------- This Sketch Is To------------------------------------------
- Displays user's live and changing BPM, Beats Per Minute, in Arduino's native Serial Monitor.
- Print: "♥ A HeartBeat Happened !" when a beat is detected, live.
- Learn about using a PulseSensor Library "Object".
- Blinks LED on PIN 13 with user's Heartbeat. --------------------------------------------------------------------*/
