## Description

Description HEART is build with MAX30100.. MAX30100 is a complete pulse oximetry and heartrate sensor system solution designed for the demanding requirements of wearable devices. The MAX30100 provides very small total solution size without sacrificing optical or electrical performance. Minimal external hardware components are needed for integration into a wearable device. How do we use this Unit to test the heart rate and ? Put your finger on the detection area. What is the communication protocol between M5 core and this unit? I2C. Product Features Programmable Sample Rate and LED Current for Power Savings Ultra-Low Shutdown Current (0.7µA, typ) Advanced Functionality Improves Measurement Performance High Sample Rate Capability Fast Data Output Capability GROVE interface Software Develop platform: Arduino Two Lego-compatible holes Kit includes 1x HEART Unit 1x Grove Cable Documents Datasheet - MAX30100 MAX30100 lib Learn Example Arduino IDE To get the code, please click here. /* Install MAX30100lib Library first.
