Hey everyone,

I want to build an e-bike with a motor that adjusts to the pulse and the oxygen saturation of a person (measured with a wearable). The idea is, if the pulse is high or the oxygen saturation low, the motor kicks in and supports the person.

My idea was to use an arduino with a bluethooth module (RX, TX) to receive the data from the wearable. Then, I would use a H-bridge or a motor driver to control the speed of the motor. But then I would need another RX/TX right?

Am I thinking the right way? Happy to hear a completely different approach, too.

Thanks for your help!
