Mikroe MIKROE-2000 Heart Rate click

Mikroe MIKROE-2000 Heart Rate click carries the Maxim MAX30100 integrated pulse oximetry and heart rate sensor. The MIKROE-2000 is an optical sensor that takes readings from red and infrared LEDs. The sensor then measures the absorbance of pulsing blood through a photodetector. This particular LED color combination is optimized for reading the data through a fingertip. The signal is processed by a low-noise analog signal processing unit. The mikroBUS™ I2C interface is then used to communicate with the target MCU. A programmable INT pin is also available. Mikroe MIKROE-2000 Heart Rate click uses a 3.3V power supply.
