Product information "MAX30101 Pulse, Blood Oxygen Meter, Smoke Sensor Breakout"

The MAX30101 Breakout is a sophisticated heart rate, oximeter and smoke/particle sensor. Use it as a fun way to see your heartbeat, or to pulse LEDs or lights to the beat of your heart.
It is Raspberry Pi and Arduino compatible.

This sensor has three LEDs - green, red and infrared - and photodetectors that can be used together to detect the amount of light reflected back to the sensor. A technique called photoplethysmography (PPG) can be used to detect the change in colour of the skin with each heartbeat when the sensor is pressed against the fingertip.

You can use the MAX30101 to detect particles in the air, such as smoke, by measuring the amount of light that is reflected back to the sensor by the particles. You can find a rough example of this in our Python library.

It's compatible with our fancy Breakout Garden HAT, where using breakouts is as simple as plugging it into one of the six slots, creating projects and coding.

If you're using the MAX30101 with Breakout Garden to measure heart rate, then we recommend the Breakout Garden Extender Kit along with some female to female jumper cables. This will make it much easier to get reliable heart rate measurements. See notes below for more information.

Note on MAX30105: The MAX30105 sensor we originally used in this breakout was discontinued by Maxim in 2021, but don't worry, it's back as MAX30101 - it's exactly the same sensor with a different name.

This sensor (and the code in our Python library) should not be used for medical diagnosis, as the basis for a real smoke or fire detector, or in life-critical situations. It's just for fun, so keep that in mind when using it.

Features

MAX30101 - Heart rate, oximeter, smoke detector(datasheet)
Green, red and infrared LEDs
Photodetectors
Ambient light suppression
Temperature sensor
I2C interface (address 0x57)
3.3V or 5V compatible
Reverse polarity protection
Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi and Arduino
Python library

Kit includes

MAX30101 Breakout
1x5 pin header
1x5 right angle female header

We have designed this breakout board so that you can solder the piece of right angle female header and plug it directly into the bottom left 5 pins of your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).

Heart Rate Example

We've added a new example to our Breakout Garden GitHub repo showing how to make a small heart rate display using the MAX30101 breakout, 1.12" OLED breakout, and a Breakout Garden HAT or pHAT.

Here it is in action:

Software

Our Python library makes it easy to use your MAX30101 sensor. We've included some examples of plotting and graphing heart rate and a rough example of detecting relative levels of particles like smoke.

SparkFun has put together a really comprehensive Arduino library for the MAX30101 sensor, which also includes examples for measuring blood oxygen saturation (SPO2), temperature and presence detection.

Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.

Notes

This sensor (and the code in our Python library) should not be used for medical diagnosis, as the basis for a real smoke or fire detector, or in life-critical situations. It is intended for fun/novelty use only, so keep that in mind when using it.
When measuring heart rate with the MAX30101 sensor, you will get much more reliable readings if you attach the sensor to your fingertip (the fleshy side) with a piece of wire or rubber band looped through the mounting holes on the breakout

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni

Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.

The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.

The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.

Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.
