Heart Rate and Pulse Oximeter Sensor Module MAX30100

Description

What it is

The MAX30100 Heart Rate and Pulse Oximeter Sensor Module is an electronic component that allows measuring heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. It is based on the MAX30100 sensor, an integrated chip designed for these measurements.

Features

• Sensor: MAX30100
• Measures heart rate
• Measures blood oxygen saturation
• SKU: ARD0011279
• Price: 6.13 €
• Category: Pre-order

What it is for

This module is useful for health and fitness electronic projects, such as bracelets that signal when the heart rate exceeds a certain value. Compatibility with Arduino or ESP32 should be verified in the datasheet.

The MAX30100 Heart Rate Sensor measures heart rate and blood oxygenation. Useful for health and fitness monitoring projects.

What you need

• Arduino
• USB cable
• 10 kΩ resistor
• Connection wire
• Arduino IDE software

Steps

1. Download example code from the Arduino website.
2. Connect the sensor to pin A0 of Arduino.
3. Connect the resistor between GND and VCC of the sensor.
4. Upload the code to your Arduino.
5. Run the code and check the results on the serial monitor.
6. Check the datasheet for the sampling frequency.
7. Adapt the code for your specific project.
8. Verify the accuracy of the sensor.

Example code

int sensorPin = A0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); Serial.println(sensorValue); delay(1000); }

Mini project

Build a bracelet that signals when the heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute.

Common mistakes

• Forget to connect the resistor.
• Set the read pin correctly.
