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.

Features:

  1. Integrated Cover Glass for Optimal, Robust Performance
  • Ultra-Low Power Operation
  • Built-in photodetector and red, IR, and green LEDs in a single package
    • PWM control of individual LED channels
    • 18-bit ADC resolution
  1. I2C Address: 0x57(7-bit)
  2. Onboard 1.8V Regulation and 5V Step-up DC/DC Converter

Package Includes:

1 x SmartElex Photodetector Breakout – MAX30101

Setup Guide

1
Identify the pins
Locate VCC (power), GND (ground), and data pins (SDA/SCL for I2C, MOSI/MISO for SPI, or TX/RX for UART). Refer to the pinout diagram on the product page.
2
Wire to your microcontroller
Connect VCC to 3.3V or 5V (check the module spec), GND to GND, and data pins to the appropriate GPIO pins on your Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
3
Install libraries
In Arduino IDE, go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries and search for the sensor library. Install the recommended version.
4
Upload example sketch
Open File → Examples → [library name] → Basic Example. Upload to your board and open Serial Monitor to view output.
5
Calibrate if needed
Some sensors (temperature, humidity, distance) may need a short warm-up period or calibration. Run the calibration sketch if provided.
