SparkFun Photodetector Breakout - MAX30101 (Qwiic)

About this item

This is SparkFun's updated particle sensor breakout, built around the MAX30101 optical sensor, the successor to the MAX30105 and MAX30102. It works by detecting light reflected back from its onboard LEDs, which makes it handy for things like particle/smoke sensing, proximity detection, and photoplethysmography (heart-rate style measurement). Communication runs over I2C through SparkFun's Qwiic connector system for quick, solderless hookup, though standard 0.1" pins are also broken out for breadboard use. Note: this board is not designed or certified for medical diagnosis or life-saving applications.

• 1" x 1" (2.54 x 2.54 cm) Qwiic breakout board with 2 Qwiic connectors and 6 breakout pins; 4 x 0.13" mounting holes fit M3 screws
• Built around the MAX30101 sensor: red, IR, and green LEDs plus a photodetector in one package, with integrated cover glass and ultra-low power draw
• 18-bit ADC, 10.24 MHz sample rate, data rate up to 3200 sps, and a 32-element FIFO buffer for steady data capture
• Onboard temperature sensor reads to 0.0625°C resolution; I2C address 0x57 (7-bit)
• Individual PWM control per LED channel, plus onboard 1.8V regulation and a 5V step-up DC/DC converter
• Not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or life-saving use
