/* Heart beat plotting! Sara Falkson https://github.com/sparkfun/MAX30105_Breakout Instructions: 1) Load code onto Redboard 2) Attach sensor to your finger with a rubber band (see below) 3) Open Tools->'Serial Plotter' 4) Make sure the drop down is set to 115200 baud 5) Checkout the blips! 6) Feel the pulse on your neck and watch it mimic the blips It is best to attach the sensor to your finger using a rubber band or other tightening device. Humans are generally bad at applying constant pressure to a thing. When you press your finger against the sensor it varies enough to cause the blood in your finger to flow differently which causes the sensor readings to go wonky. Hardware Connections (Breakoutboard to Arduino): -5V = 5V (3.3V is allowed) -GND = GND -SDA = A4 (or SDA) -SCL = A5 (or SCL) -INT = Not connected The MAX30105 Breakout can handle 5V or 3.3V I2C logic. We recommend powering the board with 5V but it will also run at 3.3V. */ #include #include "MAX30105.h" MAX30105 particleSensor; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("Initializing..."); // Initialize sensor if (!particleSensor.begin(Wire, I2C_SPEED_FAST)) //Use default I2C port, 400kHz speed { Serial.println("MAX30105 was not found.
