SmartElex Photodetector Breakout – MAX30101

The SmartElex Photodetector Breakout is a highly sensitive optical sensor and successor to the MAX30105 and MAX30102. The MAX30101 Breakout utilizes a photon detector to measure the amount of returning light that is reflected back from the LEDs. This is useful for various applications like particle (i.e. smoke) detection, proximity measurements, and even photoplethysmography. To make it even easier to use this breakout, all communication is enacted exclusively via I²C, utilizing our handy system. However, we still have broken out 0.1″ spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.
