What is it?

We created a Flex Module that supports the several MAX30100 series biosensor modules. The design has an onboard 1.8V power supply to drive logic and we recommend a 5V VDD to drive the LEDs (though 3.3V may work).

Why did you make it?

We designed this board to experiment with the amazing Maxim Integrated LED based biosensor modules.

What makes it special?

There are cheaper designs, but this is more compact with a SMPS and we sell all the module variations available:
- MAX30100 3.3V Pulse Oximeter and Heart-Rate Sensor IC
- MAX30101 5V High-Sensitivity Pulse Oximeter and Heart-Rate Sensor IC with Green LED
- MAX30102 5V High-Sensitivity Pulse Oximeter and Heart-Rate Sensor IC
- MAX30105 5V High-Sensitivity Optical Sensor for Smoke Detection IC
