Pimoroni MAX30101 Breakout Heart Rate, Oximeter, Smoke Sensor

Description Pimoroni MAX30101 Breakout Measures heart rate, oxygen saturation, and smoke detection Compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Employs photoplethysmography for accurate heartbeat detection Equipped with green, red, and infrared LEDs and photodetectors The Pimoroni MAX30101 Breakout Heart Rate, Oximeter, Smoke Sensor is a sophisticated sensor designed to measure heart rate, and oxygen saturation, and detect smoke or particles in the air. This versatile device can be used to visualize your heartbeat or to synchronize LEDs or lights with your heart rhythm. It is compatible with both Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The sensor is equipped with three LEDs - green, red, infrared, and photodetectors. These components work together to measure the amount of light reflected back to the sensor. By employing a technique known as photoplethysmography (PPG), the sensor can detect changes in skin color with each heartbeat when pressed against the fingertip. In addition to its h
