Pulse Express is an efficient and versatile breakout board with integrated high-sensitivity optical sensors (MAX30102) and also a chip that does the calculations (biometric sensor hub MAX32664D). Integrating Maxim’s MAX32664 Version D makes Pulse Express unique, with an internal algorithm that works to measure different data as you start. With its built-in low power capability, the board is suitable for any wearable health for finger-based applications.
Note: This device is only meant to be used for research & development purposes and is NOT to be used as a medical device. This product is not FDA, CE or FCC approved for consumer use.

Instructions
Raw Mode
- Make the connections as sown in the above table and upload the code
- Open serial plotter with baudrate 115200
- Place your finger on the sensor and view the ppg signal
Algorithm mode
- Update the spo2 calibration variables and your typical BP systolic and diastolic values in the algorithm-mode.ino file.
- Make the connections as sown in the above table and upload the code
- Open serial monitor and keep your finger on the sensor until calibration progress reaches 100 %
- wait for few seconds to settle the algorithm data.
