Sensitivity varies
Works okay but requires very steady finger placement. Not medical grade obviously, so expect some noise in the data.

Good sensor, needs careful wiring
Data is accurate enough for hobby use. Make sure your I2C pull-up resistors are correct or you might face communication errors.

Excellent Educational Tool
Bought this for a university project. It demonstrates PPG principles well and integrates easily with ESP32.
Q: Can this sensor measure blood pressure?
A: No, this sensor is designed to measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation levels only.
Q: Is this device medical grade certified?
A: No, this module is intended for hobby, development, and educational use only. It is not suitable for medical diagnosis.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default I2C address is typically 0x57, but please refer to the datasheet for configuration options.
Q: Does it work with 5V Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator compatible with 5V logic levels.
Q: What library do you recommend for this sensor?
A: We recommend the SparkFun MAX3010x Pulse Oximetry and Heart-Rate Sensor Library for easiest integration.
