Hey,
Anyone out there familiar with the doppler effect?
My idea was to build something like an electronic stethescope, but lean more towards the thing they use when listening to a fetal heartbeat, ya know? I am actually a father-to-be, and out of anticipation, my wife and I bought an at-home heartbeat monitor (which sucks!) and the thing barely even registers my own heartbeat.
Anyways, what I was thinking was improving the at-home heartbeat monitor. I thought about just buying the type that doctors use (the at-home versions) and those things are way too expensive for my minimum wage. So I decided why not just make an improvement? I don't wanna experiment on my unborn kid or anything, but if I can get my own heartbeat to sound like what I hear at those monthly doctor visits, that would be good enough for me.
Just as well, it would definitely further my knowledge of circuitry and it would be fun to delve into a new subject for me.
So, any ideas?
