Could someone point me to the code that measures the heart rate?

Look for hrm related methods of the Bangle class in espruino reference.

I think you should find some of those in the health and recorder apps boot.js or widget.js files in the BangleApps github repo.

so the base firmware does the hrm check? Maybe I could tie into health and when it does it check, use that check to modify the HR delay variable... okay that gives me enough to go on.

If I modify the code, does it need to be compiled in any way in order to be uploaded to the watch? Or is it better to do a pull request and wait for whoever maintains it to accept/reject the change?

This could just be a new option in the health app (dynamic HR monitoring on/off).

Check out the espruino tutorials, especially:
- https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Getting+Started
- https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Development (Following next steps here is a good way to get a grasp of many aspects of Bangle.js app development)
- https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+App+Loader
Develop and iterate for yourself first. Once you're happy with the functionality and want to add it to the main repo do the PR. If you want feedback before that I'd suggest to point to the changes on your fork, or you could open a draft PR to the main repo.
