Overview

SpO₂ and heart-rate optical sensor (not medical)

The ET-S49 is built around the Maxim MAX30102 — red + IR LEDs, photodetector, 18-bit ADC, FIFO, ambient light cancellation. It connects over I²C 0x57 (open-drain pins tolerate 3.3V pull-ups) and is powered from VIN 3.3–5.5V → 3.3V (LEDs) + 1.8V (VDD) LDOs.

Two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors let you chain it with other boards without soldering, and the 2.54 mm header fits a breadboard.

Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.

Good for

  • Heart-rate wearables
  • Biofeedback projects
  • STEM and teaching labs

Sampling rates

Sample rate settingsAnalog Devices MAX30102 datasheet. 100 SPS is plenty for heart rate and SpO₂; higher rates need shorter LED pulses.
