MAX30102 reading amplitude ? #51

Open Klarnix opened 2 years ago

Klarnix commented 2 years ago

So, I'm currently using the MAX30102 pulse oximeter for a project. Can I just ask, as the "particleSensor.getRed()", or "particleSensor.getIR()" command, what is the output's amplitude of data is it? Volt? miliVolt? miliAmpère? Or some unit that I'm unaware of? Please help me & pardon for my poor choice of word.

Not sure but should be nA.

The output is ADC count you have to convert it into nA based on the ADC configuration available in data sheet.
