What is the name for the specific part of the heart which sets the rate at which the heart will beat?

The pacemaker of the heart is known as the sinoatrial (SA) node. It sets the rate at which the heart will beat without any autonomic stimulation, that is, no sympathetic or parasympathetic activity. Increases in sympathetic activity will increase the heart rate while increases in parasympathetic activity decrease heart rate. The pacemaker of the heart is known as the sinoatrial (SA) node.

Circuit diagram for heart beat counter?

A heart beat counter circuit typically consists of a heart rate sensor connected to a microcontroller (such as Arduino) which processes the sensor data and displays the heart rate on a digital display (such as an LCD screen). The heart rate sensor measures the electrical activity of the heart and converts it into a signal that the microcontroller can interpret. The microcontroller then calculates the heart rate based on the sensor data and displays it on the screen.
