The MAX30101 Breakout\r\nutilizes a photon detector to measure the amount of returning light that is\r\nreflected back from the LEDs. This is useful for various applications like\r\nparticle (i.e. smoke) detection, proximity measurements, and even\r\nphotoplethysmography. To make it even easier to use this breakout, all\r\ncommunication is enacted exclusively via I2C, utilizing our handy Qwiic\r\nsystem. However, we still have broken out 0.1\" spaced pins in case you prefer\r\nto use a breadboard. Our products are NOT intended to diagnose or treat any\r\nconditions and in life saving applications. The SparkFun Qwiic connect system\r\nis an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make\r\nprototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a\r\ncommon 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB\r\nspace, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\r\n \u003cli\u003e1\" x 1\" (2.54 x 2.54 cm) Qwiic Breakout Board. 2 Qwiic Connectors. 6 Breakout Pins. 4 x 0.13\" Mounting Holes, Compatible with M3 screws\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \u003cli\u003eMAX30101 Sensor: Integrated Cover Glass for Optimal, Robust Performance, Ultra-Low Power Operation, Built-in photodetector and red, IR, and green LEDs in a single package\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \u003cli\u003ePWM control of individual LED channels. 18-bit ADC resolution. 10.24 MHz sample rate.
