Begin by wiring up the GSR, a guide I followed is located in the photos. Located in the photos is a basic code to run and test the gsr sensor. In tools of Arduino IDE pull up screen monster to see the values the GSR is giving back to you.

Then cut and strip the end of the wire replacing it with homemade probe. Make robe by spreading the wires and adding a layer of electrical tape behind them and press down. Then seal the tape and wires with aluminum foil and trim off excess foil from tape. Repeat on both wires. Now you have a probe w=for your GSR sensor which can be placed on any part of the body essentially.

Supplies

One will need a gsr sensor, jumper cables, wire strippers, WS218B RGB LED's, soldering iron, Arduino Uno, aluminum foil, and electrical tape.

Next we will wire up the LED's onto a board following these wire instructions. Making sure not to touch the wires or solder.

Then wire up the LED's to the board. Download the FAST LED library and use to to test out your LEDs

Finalize Code and Circuit

Next integrate your sensor circuit and your LED circuit together and combine your code. Here is the code I curated, the values rather than reading spikes and drops to detect emotions I tailored the numbers to me personally so that may need some fidgeting.

If you wish to move circuit off the board create a housing and wearable to contain the device and keep it pressed against the skin, In the photos is one I created.
