The Blood Pressure Sensor (Manufacturer: Sunrom, Part ID: 1437) is a device designed to measure the pressure of blood in the arteries. It is commonly used in medical and health monitoring applications to assess cardiovascular health. This sensor provides an analog output proportional to the blood pressure, making it suitable for integration into microcontroller-based systems for real-time monitoring and data logging.
The following table outlines the key technical details of the Sunrom 1437 Blood Pressure Sensor:

Output Signal | Analog voltage (0-5V) |
Pressure Range | 0 to 300 mmHg |
Accuracy | ±3 mmHg |
Operating Temperature | 10°C to 50°C |
Interface Type | Analog |
Dimensions | 50mm x 30mm x 15mm |
The Sunrom 1437 Blood Pressure Sensor has a 3-pin interface. The pin configuration is as follows:
Pin | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | VCC | Power supply input (5V DC) |
2 | GND | Ground connection |
3 | OUT | Analog output signal proportional to blood pressure |
VCC
pin to a 5V DC power supply and the GND
pin to the ground of your circuit.OUT
pin to an analog input pin of a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino UNO) to read the sensor's output voltage.Below is an example code snippet to interface the Sunrom 1437 Blood Pressure Sensor with an Arduino UNO:
// Define the analog pin connected to the sensor's OUT pin
const int sensorPin = A0;
// Variable to store the sensor's analog output
int sensorValue = 0;
void setup() {
// Initialize serial communication for debugging
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// Read the analog value from the sensor
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
// Convert the analog value (0-1023) to voltage (0-5V)
float voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0);
// Convert the voltage to blood pressure in mmHg
// Assuming a linear relationship: 0V = 0 mmHg, 5V = 300 mmHg
float bloodPressure = (voltage / 5.0) * 300.0;
// Print the blood pressure value to the Serial Monitor
Serial.print("Blood Pressure: ");
Serial.print(bloodPressure);
Serial.println(" mmHg");
// Wait for 1 second before the next reading
delay(1000);
