![]() ![]() These are the default values for communication between Arduino and a computer, which can be seen in the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE. They are connected to the 1.This line of code tells the Arduino to initiate communication with the computer (or any device connected to the RX and TX pins) with a serial communication rate of 9600 bits per second (baud). Now take a closer look at the 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors (R1, R2 and R3) for the SCL, SDA and INT signal lines. The second regulator is connected to the output of the first and generates 1.8V. ![]() So the module comes with two linear voltage regulators – U1 and U2. The MAX30100 chip requires two different supply voltages: 1.8V for the IC and 3.3V for the RED and IR LEDs. There is no doubt that the MAX30100 module is cheap and very popular among hobbyists, but unfortunately the module (sold in the thousands) has a serious design problem. MAX30100 Not Working – Problem and Solutions to Fix ![]() If you don’t want to drive the red LED yourself, leave it unconnected. RD pin is similar to the IRD pin, but is used to drive the Red LED. Use this if you want to drive the IR LED yourself, otherwise leave it unconnected. IRD The MAX30100 integrates an LED driver to drive LED pulses for SpO2 and HR measurements. When an interrupt occurs the INT pin goes LOW and stays LOW until the interrupt is cleared. This line is open-drain, so it is pulled HIGH by the onboard resistor. INT The MAX30100 can be programmed to generate an interrupt for each pulse. SDA is the I2C data pin, connect to your Arduino’s I2C data line. SCL is the I2C clock pin, connect to your Arduino’s I2C clock line. You can connect it to 3.3V or 5V output from your Arduino. FIFO Almost Full : triggers when the FIFO becomes full and future data is about to lost.Temperature Ready : triggers when an internal die temperature conversion is finished.Heart Rate Data Ready : triggers after every heart rate data sample is collected.SpO2 Data Ready : triggers after every SpO2 data sample is collected.Power Ready : triggers on power-up or after a brownout condition.The interrupt can be enabled for 5 different sources: The MAX30100 can be programmed to generate an interrupt, allowing the host microcontroller to perform other tasks while the data is collected by the sensor. The FIFO buffer can offload the microcontroller from reading each new data sample from the sensor, thereby saving system power. The FIFO has a 16-sample memory bank, which means it can hold up to 16 SpO2 and heart rate samples. The MAX30100 embeds a FIFO buffer for storing data samples. It has a fixed I2C address: 0xAE HEX (for write operation) and 0xAF HEX (for read operation). The module uses a simple two-wire I2C interface for communication with the microcontroller. This is a reasonably precise temperature sensor that measures the ‘die temperature’ in the range of -40˚C to +85˚C with an accuracy of ☑˚C. ![]() The MAX30100 has an on-chip temperature sensor that can be used to compensate for the changes in the environment and to calibrate the measurements. This low power consumption allows implementation in battery powered devices such as handsets, wearables or smart watches. Also it is possible to put the MAX30100 in standby mode, where it consumes only 0.7μA. One of the most important features of the MAX30100 is its low power consumption: the MAX30100 consumes less than 600μA during measurement. ![]()
