Arduino Due and MAX30100 heart-rate monitor sensor

by shedboy71

The MAX30100 is an integrated pulse oximetry and heart-rate monitor sensor solution. It combines two LEDs, a photodetector, optimized optics, and low-noise analog signal processing to detect pulse oximetry and heart-rate signals.

The MAX30100 operates from 1.8V and 3.3V power supplies and can be powered down through software with negligible standby current, permitting the power supply to remain connected at all times.

And a schematic for one of these modules

Code

You will need the https://github.com/oxullo/Arduino-MAX30100 library , you can add this in the library manager

This is the minimal example

 

 

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#include <Wire.h>
#include "MAX30100_PulseOximeter.h"

#define REPORTING_PERIOD_MS 1000

// PulseOximeter is the higher level interface to the sensor
// it offers:
// * beat detection reporting
// * heart rate calculation
// * SpO2 (oxidation level) calculation
PulseOximeter pox;

uint32_t tsLastReport = 0;

// Callback (registered below) fired when a pulse is detected
void onBeatDetected()
{
Serial.println("Beat!");
}

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);

Serial.print("Initializing pulse oximeter..");

// Initialize the PulseOximeter instance
// Failures are generally due to an improper I2C wiring, missing power supply
// or wrong target chip
if (!pox.begin()) {
Serial.println("FAILED");
for(;;);
} else {
Serial.println("SUCCESS");
}

// The default current for the IR LED is 50mA and it could be changed
// by uncommenting the following line. Check MAX30100_Registers.h for all the
// available options.
// pox.setIRLedCurrent(MAX30100_LED_CURR_7_6MA);

// Register a callback for the beat detection
pox.setOnBeatDetectedCallback(onBeatDetected);
}

void loop()
{
// Make sure to call update as fast as possible
pox.update();

// Asynchronously dump heart rate and oxidation levels to the serial
// For both, a value of 0 means "invalid"
if (millis() - tsLastReport > REPORTING_PERIOD_MS) {
Serial.print("Heart rate:");
Serial.print(pox.getHeartRate());
Serial.print("bpm / SpO2:");
Serial.print(pox.getSpO2());
Serial.println("%");

tsLastReport = millis();
}
}

Output

Open the serial monitor and you should see something like this if you touch the sensor

Heart rate:39.42bpm / SpO2:93%
Beat!
Beat!
Heart rate:62.35bpm / SpO2:93%

Heart rate:64.70bpm / SpO2:93%
Beat!
Heart rate:72.40bpm / SpO2:93%
Beat!
Heart rate:68.71bpm / SpO2:93%
Beat!
Heart rate:76.62bpm / SpO2:93%
Beat!
Heart rate:54.73bpm / SpO2:93%
